Summary

Aliens exist...and, as it turns out, most of them aren’t that friendly. Jacob Brown wasn’t even born yet the first time they attacked Earth. He was only 14 the second time it happened.

When Earth finally came together and fielded its first spaceborne military, Jacob didn’t hesitate to volunteer. Serving aboard a mighty starship, he’d be able to defend his planet - and his family - when, inevitably, they came again.

Just as he’s about to graduate training, however, Jacob is approached by an officer from Naval Special Operation Command and given a choice: volunteer for a risky mission to a dangerous, lawless world or give up his dream of serving in the military and go home. He has no idea why he’s being singled out in such an unusual manner, but now, it's either agree to their demands or give up his dream of being on a starship.

Soon, getting his career back on the right track will be the least of his concerns when it seems like everyone - and everything - he meets is trying to kill him. When he stumbles upon a secret most people on Earth are blissfully unaware of, he realizes it's not just the aliens he needs to be worried about.

Generally enjoyed

A good formulaic book that I enjoyed apart from the almost constant and generally pointless swearing. Really good storytellers rarely need it in these quantities if at all. It annoyed me in the generally much more enjoyable Black Fleet. but Mr Dalzelle seems more and more dependent on it. A shame for me at least. I won't be trying Omega Force or likely listening to more of these as a consequence.

Next generation

At the end of the book the author explains how and why he wrote this follow on from the Omega series. His words echoed my own thoughts as I listened to him. This book was exceptional and unlike his father the hero blunders through to victory and his colleagues get their own starring role without being super heros. Now I can look forward to both sets of books coming out and hope Josh ‘s fingers remain active!

Space opera at its best

You always know what you're going to get with JD. Ripping story lines, great build up and decently paced. Thoroughly enjoyable story, looking forward to the next installment.
