Victory belongs to the strong and cunning warrior.
Admiral Jack Romanoff and his crew have turned two enemies against one another, via misdirection and timing. That gives them the breathing room to get back to their feet, but as any savvy commander knows, the footing on any battlefield is treacherous. One misstep could cost a warrior everything.
Blood is the only coin that can buy victory.
With things falling apart in the Confederation proper, the future looks grim. All that can change for the worse in an instant, and only vigilance and courage can stop the enemies of humanity from extinguishing the flickering candle of the human species. Backed into a corner, he will pay the price for victory.
Let whoever wants to die first test their resolve.

I think the series peaked around book 3 or so. But now in the last two books it has fallen off a cliff, and sadly, this will be my last book in this series.
For nearly two complete books now, we've had little to no conflict. And when I mean conflict I'm talking about *any* conflict, not just fighting. Everyone loves each other and nobody gets in disagreements. Promotions for everyone! And no personal conflicts to overcome. Is this "The Love Boat"? Oh wait, even that had more conflict. People who used to not get along, suddenly do now. The main threats are nowhere to be seen, and the goodguys, again, are showered with gifts out of the blue. New tech, new knowledge, new allies. Heck, even a growing proportion of the ones that *were* villains are now allies. It's crazy!
I guess it's great being the goodguys in this story, because every day is sunny, love is in the air and even long forgotten family members are inexplicably re-united. The scary evil badguys, when they finally make an appearance, are quickly dispatched without a single casualty on the good-guy's side. To give you an idea, in a 20+ chapeter book, not even 2 chapters are devoted to the "big fight".
For the main character, everything is going *so* well that he's barely even a factor in the story any more. He defers everything to his subordinates, and when he does make a decision, they usually tell him he should be doing something different (and they're right). It's getting painful to read/listen to. Another weird thing is that arguably the story started with the main characters being Jack, the marine, the mechanic, the professor, the documentarian, and the judge advocate. Strangely, these have all been reduced to minor roles now, in fact many of them go books without even making a token appearance now. You'd be hard pressed to name another series where this was the case, and there's a reason for that: it's a terrible idea!
I've consumed over 200 audiobooks (and a respectible number of them from JN Chaney), and I've never seen (actually listened) to anything like this before. It's like the writer has no clue how to write a story, and each book gets worse and worse. Story is conflict, conflict is story, and your characters need to be developed. if you don't lay out nearly insurmountable challenges for your protagonist, you are basically now writing a cosy mystery... minus the mystery.
