Publisher's summary

After peacefully and complacently expanding for centuries, the Centran Empire comes face to face with their first major obstacle, the stubborn and warlike inhabitants of Earth, and decides to use Earth warriors to pacify difficult planets throughout the galaxy, but they soon discover a new problem - the humans could end up running the Central Empire itself.

Why do the "humans" sound like shrill old ladies

Really don't want to return another book because it's impossible to hear and understand. Painfully shrill! Come on now, these guys are big ape like types beating up on Lop-Tails and they sound like a Kzinti's claws dragging on a blackboard.

Two faced coin

The 2 main protagonists offer completely different styles of book from each other. The human story is good military sci fi with human ingenuity solving seemingly insurmountable problems. the cetrian(centurian?) story reads more like a crappy sci fi comedy where every single human dictator was given a free planet and told to go wild. These two stories clash massively in both tone and theme to the point where I think the author just shoved them both together in an act of desperation to complete the story. it's not irredeemable it's just jarring and a little weird.
