Summary

Humanity is fighting against an implacable foe. The Ghasts - a ruthless alien race - seem hell-bent on wiping out mankind. They have a vast warfleet and their technology is advancing at a terrible rate.

Captain John Nathan Duggan and his crew are given a mission - find the missing ESS Crimson and bring it home. Little does Duggan realize, this is no ordinary mission. As he struggles against enemies both within and without, he desperately tries to unlock the mystery surrounding the Crimson's disappearance and the unknown weapons it carries. He soon discovers the missing warship might be the only hope for salvation that mankind has left.

When everything is veiled in secrecy nothing is easy, as Duggan is about to find out.

Really large space ships

Strange cadence in the performance. It took many many chapters to care about any of the characters. Some of the tactics seem contradictory

Good story annoying reading

Nice space opera, standard stuff big ships, big battles. Twists and turns written well.

But it's Mug-lock-lin not Mer-glash-in painful hearing it wrong.

Great start but....

The book started off well but it became apparent that it contained concepts which just annoyed me and struck me as implausible.
This book May work for you, but I am afraid I won't be getting the next in the series.
