Defy the inevitable. Such is the stance of Confederation captain Eric Weston and the crew of the starship Odysseus, patrolling the outer limits of Priminae space, anticipating the Empire's next attacks. Connected with the Terran FTL tech—the transition drive—humanity might stand a chance against the overwhelming forces. Until the entire planetary system goes dark.
Outnumbered and outgunned, the Odysseus arrives to find the Empire securing critical intelligence from Priminae ships—data that could prove disastrous in the wrong hands.
As the Odysseus enters the fray, the ship's systems exhibit increasingly chaotic glitches, while haunting apparitions stalk the crew. As they struggle to control their own ship—and their sanity—against the tide of battle, how can they hope to grasp victory when the Odysseus itself appears to be coming to life?

Story: When a Priminae ship is ambushed at a colonial star system, the crew fights valiantly despite being outnumbered. Eventually, the Odysseus is brought in to investigate why the star system went silent. What ensues is a cat and mouse battle of power/surprise vs overwhelming numbers. But something else is also happening - random malfunctions all throughout the new heroic class Odyssey. Can the crew discover the root of the issues before a malfunction costs them a battle and their lives?
Odysseus awakening is one long space battle - and surprisingly is all the better for it. The situation escalates and then constantly morphs as Weston, the Priminae captain, a Priminae fleet, and Weston's small accompaniment of destroyers attempt to outwit the enemy imperial fleet. But the malfunctions are causing serious issues that have greatly affected the Odyssey's ability to fight. As with previous books, we get the perspective of the enemy Imperials as well. I'm glad that Earth/Priminae are fighting humans again since the Drasin POVs did feel a bit silly and anthropomorphic.
Currie's really honed his writing and each book is a special listening/reading event for me. I set aside time to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! Especially this latest book reminded me of why I loved the Jack Campbell Lost Fleet series so much.
The Audible version was fine - I'm not really a fan of giving people accents based on their names - e.g., I have a German last name but don't speak German. But I do have to admit that it does help to distinguish characters easier when listening. The narrator did a fine job, not the best nor the worst that I have heard.
Absolutely Love This Series

This is just not fair...

The first few books had awesome technology and strategy and tactics, and now it is intrigue and strategy.
I have a little concern about going too far with the ethereal characters, and a super star shine focusing weapon that can somehow be re-aimed a matter of minutes in a different direction.
Otherwise I highly recommend this series!
Great series!
