In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

When out-of-shape IT technician Roen wakes up and starts hearing voices in his head, he naturally assumes he’s losing it. He isn’t. As of last night, he has a passenger in his brain - an ancient alien life-form called Tao, whose race crash-landed on Earth before the first fish crawled out of the oceans. Over the millennia his people have trained human heroes to be great leaders, to advance our species at a rate far beyond what it would have achieved on its own. Split into two opposing factions - the peace-loving, but under-represented Prophus, and the savage, powerful Genjix - the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries.

That is, until she gets a job on a tiny trade ship with a nasty reputation for surprises. The Glorious Fool isn't misnamed; it likes to get into trouble, so much so that one year of security work under its captain is equal to five years everywhere else. With odds like that, Devi knows she's found the perfect way to get the jump on the next part of her plan.

Story
They're all gone. We remember them like yesterday: pieces of our stolen heritage. Things like NASA. Football. Parades and pies. Good things, comfortable things. We remember a time when we were alone in the universe, safe and oblivious. But it's all gone now. We called them the Telestines, and in the face of their ruthless invasion we were powerless. By 2040, all the world's governments and militaries had fallen, and the remnants of humanity exiled to the solar system. We looked down on our blue planet, so close to our birthplace, so close to our home.

The Continuity is great
Too many times, I have noticed many series like this lose continuity in the sequels. But, even though the books are coming out pretty quick, the story line hasn't had any burps. Massive respect there. I could comment on so many great points in this book it would become a huge commentary. Instead, my favorite scene is Christina fighting in the bar.
Keep up the great work

YeeHaw!
Thank you, Michael, for another wonderfully fast-paced, action-filled, well-written book.
That said, this book has some great new characters that I think all will enjoy, I know I did! B.A. is back in her red gear and kicking ass with her usual style and panache alongside the gang. The fight to protect and defend equality and righting the wrong is now blowing through the stars in a big way and promises to get enormously huge. YES! My only gripe is the book is just too damned short! Now the wait for Emily to get book 18 out to us. Tick-Tock Emily from one impatient B***H!

Addicting
This whole series is addicting. The author pulls you in with the story and characters. Meanwhile, the narrator personalizes each of those characters. They leave the reader/listener wanting to know what happens next.
