About this listen

First contact gone wrong....

It was every starship captain’s nightmare, and for Travis Miller, it was his own personal hell.

He’d done everything by the book, but when the Tahni had attacked him and his crew, there was no choice but to return fire and destroy the first alien vessel humans had ever encountered.

Excoriated in the press, his career in shambles, Travis is exiled to a long patrol of the outer colony worlds. Forgotten, except as a bad example...until the Tahni prove him right by declaring war on the human commonwealth.

Now, Travis Miller is the tip of the spear. Humanity’s best hope for turning back an overwhelming assault on human space. Because to the Tahni, humans are infidels and this is a holy war....

Don’t miss the next explosive series from the number-one Amazon best-selling author of Contact Front, Rick Partlow. This is military sci-fi the way it’s meant to be. It’s perfect for fans of Jay Allan, Jasper T. Scott, and Scott Bartlett.

Very entertaining!

An interesting take on a Space Opera. The narration was excellent, world building and filling out of characters was well done.

Love the hard sci-fi, not the most original

This is a lovable book just because of the absence if magical “artificial gravity” or similar technologies. Unexplained technologies are hidden behind a mysterious civilization, very good this far. On the other side, this feels a bit too much just like a mix between the expanse and Columbus day for me to give it 5 stars to the story

Decent

The beginning was tough. The first half of the book felt disjointed and like it didn’t know where it was going. The second half was much better

Solid work- enjoyed it

Solid beginning for a series, looking forward to the next book. Heavier on the combat action description than on characters. 1st book I’ve checked out from this author, so don’t know yet if that’s the style.
I’ve heard other books with this narrator, this is about the same. Mostly enjoyable and at worst not a negative.

Great Listen!

I can't wait to listen to the rest of the series! Cronin did a great job of telling a creative, compelling story and generating great anticipation for Book 2.

Story arc, character flow

I’ve finished the series on Audible now (4 books so far). What I like is that the character reactions are believable and interesting. Lots of action of course in this type of series but it’s relatively easy to follow.

great start to a series

I can't wait to see what happens next in the war. I am also very interested in hearing more about the Tawny culture.
