Earth arms marines with alien technology and builds its first battle fleet! Kyle Riggs is snatched by an alien spacecraft sometime after midnight. The ship is testing everyone it catches and murdering the weak. The good news is that Kyle keeps passing tests and staying alive. The bad news is the aliens who sent this ship are the nicest ones out there.
A novel of military science fiction by best-selling author B. V. Larson, Swarm is the story of Earth's annexation by an alien empire. Long considered a primitive people on a backwater planet, humanity finds itself in the middle of a war - and faced with extinction.

My main issues with this book starts with the romance. It is almost agonizing in this one and gets worse in the next. I don't think the voice given to Rigg's girl friend helped either. Kyle Rigg's is supposed to be some sort of leader to Earth, but that doesn't stop him from having sex whenever possible with her catty girl friend making him look like the pirate he is called. By the way, who really buys he is a grieving father when right after his children are butchered he becomes a love sick puppy with no impulse control for sex amongst his followers? I am not a prude, but the romance does become excessive and unnecessary.
The other thing I disliked was admiral, emperor, or whatever you want to call him, Crow. The man is plainly power hungry, shady, with no obvious qualifications for leadership and only serves to hound Rigg's about his decisions. For some reason Riggs puts up with his crap and calls him a superior despite the dangers this can bring (yet he still maintains that he is smarter than the "pro's" because the government just will mess things up). So we establish they are pirates yet they don't seem to understand why the US government would want to be running the show. Instead our professor Riggs blunders along making wild assumptions that of course tend to be correct and if they are wrong, well, many people just die. He is overly confident and really isn't the hero you care to believe in when he goes around killing with no regard to life (you will see this especially in the next book). In the end I found it very hard sympathize with him.
There is more I could add to the list but these are the major details from the first book that carry on and get worse. This isn't a masterpiece by far, but I did enjoy this one enough to buy the second because it had a campy feel to it and plenty of action by the end.

This series is something else. The story took me totally by suprise. Nothing what I expected.
The enemy was interesting, powerfull but not omnipotend. The friends of the earth was not what you expected either.
I found not a single deadpoint in the book. Nor a borring moment.
The narrator is doing a great job. Love his Alamo computer-voice.
Fantastic, "down to earth" sci-fi with no deadtime
