About this listen

A new Inspector who covets Earth's technology. Breakthroughs in propulsion, shielding, and weaponry. An aging Ancient struggling to continue. A Confederation on the verge of civil war. Remarkable discoveries that change everything. The Ascendancy Saga continues!

It's been a year since the Enemy home world was destroyed. There have been no additional Enemy sightings, but the 3F Defensive Alliance continues to grow. The trade between worlds has sparked prosperity throughout the sector.

But trouble brews in Andromeda. The Central Council holds a secret meeting, condemning Earth for continuing to hold the spy Ju-Ne. They authorize an armada to travel to Earth to collect the prisoner—by force if necessary.

As Earth prepares to be attacked, Eugene and Kelly come up with breakthroughs to strengthen the Space Force.

Then, the unexpected happens...

Another fast-paced thriller from D. Ward Cornell. Buckle your seat belt and get ready for the ride!

A very satisfying ending

The fight between good and evil is finally at an end. This book was a little less saccharine, which I appreciated. I also really enjoyed the work put in to point out and then normalize The Different.

The development of David is probably my favorite part of the series. The unconvincing pairing up of couples was… disappointing.

No, I take it back: my favorite part was the last line of the book, for which I thank you.
