Five years ago, the human race became independent, as the Alphan Empire conceded it could no longer sustain its grip on Earth and withdrew, casting an unprepared humanity adrift on an interstellar sea of troubles.

Since then, humanity has struggled mightily to secure its position in a galaxy full of hungry predators, many of whom see Earth as nothing more than a prize to be won.

Now, one of the galaxy’s superpowers has set its sights on Earth, launching a covert campaign to weaken and isolate the human race before it moves in for the kill. As their plan comes into the open, and the scale of the threat becomes apparent, the human race finds itself caught between a war it cannot win and shameful submission to dangerously inhuman race.

If Earth loses the war, humanity’s short-lived independence will come to an end once again...

The story was pretty good and certainly had lots of action. I didn’t like all the mental analysis and self doubt about every decision.

Good story line, but too much thinking

The book is a decent Read, But too damn wordy , The characters hymn & HA about every decision , much of the book is about should’ve done this or should I do that. The characters can’t make up their mind what decision to make. I’d hate to think military commanders think and vacillate so much about every decisions.

The story is good BUT

3.5 stars.

Interesting tactics, reasonably well-handled politics, weak character work, and a compelling plot.

There are better MilSF books, but this isn't bad at all.

Decent MilSF

no one reads action packed books like Jeffrey kafer and rc.bray.
cg. nuttall is the best current military sci-fi writer out there. much better than Vaughn heppner, and Joshua dalzelle. his characters are believable and the action sequences are brilliant. this book was just another top piece of military sci-fi/space opera.

Jeffrey kafer

W/O spoilers this book has some of the absolute worst decision makers on the good guys side I have ever read about in a book.

The narrator is so boring I keep skipping ahead.

I also keep thinking this book was written with heavy dependence upon so called AI (generative text) it is so unlike the authors usual style.

Title should be “Absolute Incompetence”
