About this listen

 For years, the alien Klikiss robots have pretended to be humanity's friends, but their seeming "help" allowed them to plant an insidious Trojan Horse throughout the Earth Defense Forces. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating war, swarms of ancient black robots built by the lost insectoid Klikiss race continue their depredations on helpless worlds with stolen and heavily armed Earth battleships.

Among the humans, the Hansas' brutal Chairman struggles to crush any resistance, even as King Peter breaks away to form his own new Confederation among the colonies who have declared their independence.

And meanwhile, the original, voracious Klikiss race, long thought to be extinct, has returned, intent on conquering their former worlds and willing to annihilate anyone in the way.

Amazing story line

So many plots and turns, the worlds and characters are fast and complicated. This should be turned in to a film or high budget tv series. I read all books 1-6 but listening to 7 and just finished is.

Great read

Yet another brilliant installment, great space opera one of my favourites, can't believe this hasn't been picked up for a film yet...

Plot just doesn't make sense

We went from first seeing the Faeros as protectors who stopped some ships from being radiated in a solar flare, to then helping turn the tide of the war against the Hydrogues as the good guys. Now we're expected to just accept they're evil and ruthless and suddenly want to kill everyone.

Sorry but the story for me has went down hill since the Hydrogue war concluded, you should have just ended the series then.
