Publisher's summary

An interplanetary battle is renewed in an epic novel of a warring solar system by the author of Ballistic.

The war should have been over. But it’s not for a group of nationalists grabbing for control.

It’s been two weeks since a missile with a nuclear warhead tore through the planetary defenses in the most blistering large-scale attack ever committed in the history of the Gaia system. Commander Dunstan Park of the Rhodian navy has been handpicked to command an experimental cruiser that could dictate the course of the escalating conflict. All he has to do is keep the ship from falling into the wrong hands.

On Gretia, the powder keg is beyond control. A terrorist attack against civilians draws Idina Chaudhary into a costly battle. It also forces a cautious Aden Jansen back into the fray. Now dedicated to a just cause, he’s still keeping his past hidden. The risk of exposing his former alliance could twist not only his fate but also that of his sister, Solveig, heir to the family empire.

With no time to waste, Dunstan hits the ground running. But as insurgents threaten the unstable peace, what’s ahead for both sides could change the destiny of the Gaia system forever.

Critic reviews

“A series you should start if you are a fan of grounded space opera with a military lean. The Palladium Wars comes at straight-up military fiction from an angle that keeps it interesting.” (Locus Magazine)

Three books, three narrators….

The book was fantastic… the story, the characters, the drama.

The narration was frustrating. Mr. Jackson just doesn’t have the vocal range to express all the different characters and the amount of mispronunciations was distracting.

Not the best narrator

Previous two books had the same narrator who did different accents for everybody. It was an excellent job. This narrator seems to do everything in the same tone. Not a bad job but it is not nearly as good as the previous two books.

Pirates

How juvenile of the author to give us pirates… .. One would think we are in kindergarten.

Another fantastic installment in this series

Korey Jackson does a fantastic job and I hope he sticks around to narrate the rest of this series!

The story is Kloos at the top of his game, his world building is excellent, and I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Marko Does It Again !!!!

Marko Kloos is getting to be one of my favorite authors . This series just doesn’t disappoint! His characters and plot just draw you in and you don’t want the book to end !!!! I personally like that we get to know more different characters than his other military series .I’m already wishing the next book was available !!! Thank you Marko !!!!

Sorry but you can’t change narrators.

This narrator made it confusing who was talking. I much preferred the first narrator, especially his version of Aiden much better fit the character. Felt a lot like a tamed down version of The Expanse and I will read anything that series. The atmosphere/world building made reading it feel like a place I would want to be.

There better be a sequel, dang it!!

The story wrapped up fine but left way too many personal story lines hanging. It is bad enough that if I’d seen it coming I wouldn’t have started the trilogy. In fact, I’m so frustrated I’d like to give it three stars but the story really was five star good. Thanks for jerking your audience around!!

3 books 3 narrators

I like the series, there needs to be consistency in the narrators. I prefer the first narrator, but any of the three would’ve been better than changing every book.

Great series ruined by narration

Three books, three narrators, and the result was to bomb a great series. The third narrator was the worst. Painful
Story itself was a good follow on and became more interesting. Recommend reading vs listening.
