The war with the Arduans - profoundly alien invaders who originally arrived in STL ships - is over. Most of those attackers are now probationary (and very productive) citizens of the Rim Federation.

However, many among the Arduans' warrior caste have accepted neither defeat nor the personhood of any of the other intelligence races. Their leader, the ruthless admiral of the second Arduan exodus, Amunsit, is in firm control of the Zarzuela system. Along with a fifth column among the peaceable Arduans, she hopes to find allies in subsequent refugee fleets that abandoned their race's now-dead home system long ago.

But as the victors' diplomats attempt to soothe tensions with these warlike neighbors, two heroes of the last war - veteran admiral Ian Trevayne and young troubleshooter Ossian Wethermere - suspect they have stumbled upon a deeper Arduan plot: one that could shatter the Pan-Sentient Union and perhaps interstellar civilization itself.

For the first several chapters it seemed like a repeat of the last two books. About 1/3 of the way through, but then the author brought in new material. My only remaining complaint is that every time you blink, someone has developed a new miraculous devastating weapon... its sometimes like a bad tv drama where you aren't given enough background or information to make the connection. The story goes from the good guys having the best tech to ... oh wait a minute... the bad guys have the best tech... almost like pulling a rabbit out of a hat

I did like the book despite this issue

Improved over the last book!

I know when a book is good when I get mad at what happens to the characters and can't stop listening. There are some flaws in story that mite just be me being picky. But in all it a smart space story. I can't wait till I get to listen to the next in the series .

fantastic series
