Humanity’s war with the Coven is going badly.
Fleet simply doesn’t have the ships or the manpower to counter the alien’s vast reserves, so Cole Jackson is hauled out of his self-imposed exile and ordered back to the front. The Admirals are gambling on a miracle; that he and his crew can repeat the success of his First Command by repairing vessels and sending them into battle. And maybe snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Fleet has been gathering damaged and deserted ships in a remote system on the edge of human-controlled space. Without transport, Jackson’s crew must travel on an obsolete military simulator, without shields or weapons. When they run into a Coven warship, it’s all Jackson can do to keep them alive as both ships crash-land on the planet.
In a running battle with cyborg warriors, Jackson must avoid alien patrols, build rudimentary weapons, and cobble together some type of ship that would see them escape the death planet and change the course of the war.
Book 2 of a science fiction thrill ride about a crew of young soldiers mustering the courage to fight back against both a vicious alien enemy, and the terrifying void of being stranded in space. It's perfect for fans of Daniel Gibbs, J.N. Chaney, and Vaughn Heppner!

There are often inconsistencies with characters and how the tech works. The Alien foe lacks personality and what character traits are presented are also inconsistent and contradictory.
Glaring plot problem - H2S Hydrogen sulfide, is a heavier than air gas, while it is true the gas has a sulfurous oder, those exposed to it never realize they are being exposed to H2S as it fatigues olfactory senses almost immediately upon exposure.
All that to say, taking refuge in a subway would make for a very short book. Something I would expect a physician to know.
Second Chance, was a very repetitive book, until the very end where Simon blew past multiple opportunities to write several very good scenes.
Against my better judgment I’m moving on to Trinity.
