A brand-new series by the author of the best-selling Crimson Worlds saga.
Terrence Compton is one of Earth's greatest admirals, a warrior almost without equal. Alongside his oldest friend and brilliant colleague, Augustus Garret, he and his forces saved Earth from invasion by the robotic legions of the First Imperium's insane computer Regent. There is just one problem. The First Imperium was held back by the disruption of the sole warp gate connecting the two domains...and Compton and 300 of his ships are trapped on the wrong side, surrounded by the Regent's vast fleets and cut off from Earth.
Pursued by their deadly enemy, Compton and his fleet must flee into the darkness of unexplored space, seeking safety...and ultimately a new home. Their journey will take them deep into the heart of the First Imperium, to the silent, windswept worlds where the ancient race that built the Regent once dwelled...and uncover the lost secrets of its disappearance 500,000 years ago.

I liked the book, it entertained me, which is what I ask for above all else. It takes place in space on spaceships. No planet of the week, time travel, romance, or scientific jargon. No detailed taking apart and putting back together of weapons. The story was predictable, matter of fact I kept thinking I had heard it before, but I had not. It was a lot like a 1950's war movie, with the cheese so thick you could cut it with a knife, but sometimes that is what I want. I don't want a steady diet of it, but it was a nice upbeat patriotic read.
I AM JUST A MAN
I must agree with another reviewer that Admiral Compton, the main character was a bit ego maniacal. Yet, he was an admiral and he was trying to save Earth. Democracy rarely works in these types of situations. While Admiral Compton was similar to a Captain Picard, it was a shame that the bad guys had to be Chinese and Russian. Roddenberry would have found better bad guys.
The narrator was good.

The sci-fi elements focus largely on physics with interstellar travel and high tech weaponry and assorted gadgets. At the same time, cyber aspects of artificial intelligence play heavily into the alien threat. The real focus however is the varying responses of the various characters when their fate has been sealed. Expectations for a bigger backstory on the alien origins and how they became extinct should play prominently in future installments.
The narration is quite well done with a solid rendition of genders and the extreme multicultural nature of the crews.

Unfortunately, many of the reviews for Bk 2 are not very complementary so I move forward into this trilogy with trepidation but, as they say, more will be revealed!
Enjoyable space opera

:The characters were well done, but the story in some places was overdone, in that there was a lot of time and verbiage that did not advance the plot.
Overall, it was a good read and I will continue to the next book in the series.
By the way, the narration was fantastic.
A very enjoyable though drawn out story

Is there anything you would change about this book?
The story isn't that bad, but the writing style is annoying. The same points about all kinds of things, repeated over and over throughout the book, as if you might not have heard them the first time. Would have been 30% shorter without the repetition.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No, because there's just something missing. It's not a bad story, but it's not a good story either. It just is.Incredibly repetitive sci-fi
