Story
The galaxy is doomed. Monkeys may be clever and too stubborn to give up, but Skippy The Idiot Who Got Played knows the harsh truth: this is a fight he can’t win. The odds are not only stacked against him, he was designed not to win this fight. Maybe he can salvage some faint memory of the civilizations that inhabit the galaxy, but those beings are doomed. Doomed. Including the Merry Band of Pirates.

A wholly unsatisfying ending to an epic universe

best series I have read and listened to

only downside to this epic story is its over. I think there is room to build off it though if Craig wants to expand. Skippy unites the galaxy species to fight against the threat outside the galaxy, they find a way to make the elders pay for their crimes, etc.

Story
Deep in the Confederation, Rear Admiral Fulmar heads toward his mission of destroying all Lamothian planets. As long as he can avoid the large Lamothian fleet, he can accomplish his task. If only the Lamothians had heeded High Princess Layla’s warning to stop their barbaric feasts where humans are the delicacy consumed, then perhaps things would have turned out differently. Will Fulmar be successful in his mission? Will the humans of the Empire and Earth eliminate the threat of their enemies? The fate of worlds is decided in fleet battles in the Confederation and the Human Empire.

great story and can't wait for next book

very few mistakes in narration. some things are repetitive but those things are being told from the viewpoint of a fleet admiral. that type of repetition I have seen be the norm with military organizations when analyzing a battle or battle readiness. really liked the series so far and looking forward to the next 2 books that will conclude the series. my only hopes is she continues her father's other series with earth fall and originator wars. was sad to hear of his passing. great author and all I have read about him hr was also a great person.

excellent book series
Reviewed: 07-31-19
I loved it and have listened to it twice. the story would have a 5 star rating if more detail was put around what happened after the last fleet battle in the humans system. I think another book could have been made to clover that and close loose ends like high commander Caldre and the final fate of the trelixians.
