Super read, loved the story. The end is right and just, but it makes you yearn for a different one. It's the job of a good book to make you care so deeply about the story that you want to add to or change it. I would read this is I were you.

From Joshua Dalzelle comes the follow-up to the number-one best seller Warship. Captain Jackson Wolfe survived the initial incursion of a vicious alien species into human space...barely. He had assumed the juggernaut that had devastated three Terran systems was the herald for a full invasion, but for the last few years it has been eerily quiet along the Frontier. Jackson now struggles to convince the Confederate leadership the threat is still imminent and needs to be taken seriously.

What did you love best about StarFire?
Bought this book on a lark, was happy to really enjoy it. Not only was the story great, but the narrator was super too. I really like the format, it was unusual in style (I don't want to say too much).
I would totally recommend this book, the second one was even better "Fey", it was very whimsical.
What did you like best about this story?
How deep the character was written. You care about the characters and want to know what happens next.
What about Jason Brenizer’s performance did you like?
He was great, his inflection was just right and I enjoyed when he switch to different characters.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Hero, wrongfully accused!
Any additional comments?
Get it, read it or listen. The audible version was great, I would recommend the narrator. Highly.

The Skaintz Imperium was eradicated from the backwater planet of Garm, but at great cost. The population of the world was decimated within weeks, and Garm will never be the same. At least humanity can breathe easily knowing that the mysterious aliens are all dead.... But are they? Using their natural form of communication, Skaintz radio signals did chirrup and click, however briefly. Transmissions in their ancient language now spread at the speed of light in a growing sphere.
