About this listen
A dying world, shattered by a broken machine. A desperate flight, their only hope for refuge. A robotic race, ally and destroyer alike.
The Republic of Exilium has grown in strength and confidence at the far end of the galaxy from the rest of mankind, sending out scout ships to survey the worlds around them as they try to learn more about the mysterious Construction Matrix AIs.
Finding one of the genocidal rogues of that mysterious “race” in the process of destroying an inhabited world, Captain Octavio Catalan takes his ship into a desperate battle. He is victorious - but he is too late. The world of the strange aliens he has encountered is doomed.
The distant Republic can barely help, but the honor of their leaders will not permit them to stand idly by. Ships and crews are set into motion to commence a desperate evacuation of their newfound friends, and debts with the strange Matrices are called in.
One branch of Matrices destroyed the planet. Another may well save it - but the AIs have their own agenda and the price they ask may be beyond the Republic and its new allies....

Story
Avalon was the flagship of the Castle Federation in the last war, now 20 years past. The first of the deep space carriers, no other warship in the fleet holds as many honors or has recorded as many kills. No other warship in the fleet is as old. Accepting the inevitable, the Federation Space Navy has decided to refit her and send her on a tour of the frontier, showing the flag to their allies and enemies as a reminder of her glory - and then decommission her for good.

When an alien armada destroys the United Earth Space Force and takes control of the human homeworld, newly reinstated Captain Annette Bond must take her experimental hyperspace cruiser Tornado into exile as Terra's only interstellar privateer. She has inferior technology, crude maps, and no concept of her enemy, but the seedy underbelly of galactic society welcomes her so long as she has prizes to sell and money to spend.

At a time when Humans were just starting to venture forth into the Galactic Union as mercenaries, Martin Quincy survived long enough to do something no one else had - he retired. There was only one problem: He got bored. After battling aliens for many years - killing aliens and getting paid - retirement didn’t suit him, and he decided to strap on the combat armor and go back to the stars. Along with his old friend Kal, Martin joined Cartwright’s Cavaliers, humanity’s best merc company. Life was exciting! But he got bored. Again.

Story
As a sci-fi author with a hit TV show, I have a few ideas about what alien invaders are supposed to look like. In my stories, they’re technologically advanced monsters, with tentacles, and no faces. Turns out I was right about the technology. And about how angry they’d be. But the way they look…that’s more terrifying than even I could have imagined. They look exactly like us. Because they are us.

His mind had become its AI core. He is somewhere in deep space. Most of his systems are badly damaged. He has no memory of how he got here, or what his mission is. Evidence points to an attack by an unknown entity.

Well done. Excellent addition
This was a very good addition to the series. The plot line moves the story arc quickly. Now the exiles can really take the fight to the rouges. I am looking forward to the next in the set. Well done.

2nd book is better than the first
I almost didn't get past the first book, it's ok. definitely and interesting idea. but the 2nd book improves a lot on the character personalities and on the description of the action. And the plot thickens with this installment

Good story once it builds speed
The story itself I find to be good and I am a fan of the writer. My issue stems from the lack of any patriarchal society, as a matter of fact the men all seem to be inferior when compared to their female counterparts. I just would like it to be closer to real life, equal but different and value our differences.

Been a great continuation of the saga thus far.
It has been a fun series to date. I have enjoyed the premise of an exiled fleet and their discovery of other species in the void. The ongoing battle against the rogue matrices adds a great antagonist. I am not as fond of the narrator only because of his pauses at odd times and stilted emotional impressions. He is not overly distracting but just not my favorite for this series.

great followup to book 1
I would rate book 1 just a tad better than book 2, but mainly due to book 1 being new and fresh...while book 2 continues this universe. JD Jackson is a little better than book 1 and that was a good thing. he was decent to solid but had to speed up the narration to 1.05 - 1.10x. perhaps book 3 he will nail it and get to 5 stars!

Slow start but great 2nd act!
I loved the first installment of this series and I was ready to jump right into some new excitement, but I was disappointed. I understand the need to develop the universe but the story dragged when introducing some new neighbors (trying not to spoil). while it was interesting to learn about them I found myself not caring and wanting them to hurry up and get to the point. that lasted for a lot of chapters.
but once I muscled through the beginning the story finally took off! there was plenty of action and we get some answers to many of the questions our heroes were looking for in the first book.
my opinion is that the story needs work on character relationships. I don't really feel any connection between the crew. one day it's so and so is there and the next so and so has a relationship with a main character and they are in love... like when did that happen! I think its also the reason the first half of the book was so dry. it was just telling us what was happening with no real character development. I think I only grew to like 1 person throughout the whole 1st half. the first book did a much better job of introducing characters and giving them passion and drive.
the narration was ok. some of the voices are starting to sound too much a like and it threw me off, but it wasn't horrible.
overall the second half of the book is worth it! I will continue with the next book!
