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.

Great book and characters

Best book from Rick Partlow. He has grown as a writer and now the story and characters is amazingly good. I was a bit skeptical after reading a few bad books from others authors before this and this book surprised me. Looking forward to the next one.

Solid sci fi

Good story with ebbs and flows. Characters arcs were repetitive but not boring. Early World building - hope follow ups get better

Good story well told.

I enjoyed the first contact element. The narration was superb. No discernible political message. Interesting characters. I am looking forward to the next book.

Battle, battle, battle, etc.

The author established good character development and story line. If you are former military, this read would be very familiar. I personally became fatigued at the minutia of the battle scenes. Maybe the next book will have more plot development.

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
