About this listen

Ten months of total war have taken their toll on humanity.

The unrelenting pace of combat operations is whittling everyone down. Liam is fed up with always being on the defensive. Chi and Jericho’s relationship is beginning to fray at the edges. Even Whimsby is beginning to show signs of (heaven forbid it) insufficient bandwidth.

As the Deathbringers flit from one end of the universe to the other, pushing back against constant probing attacks by the Ferox, Liam is required to be on nearly every operation. His ability to sense and locate Wraith Graves is integral to the war effort. And yet, Liam still feels like he’s not doing enough. Mainly because Command says he’s too valuable to risk, and therefore won’t let him fight.

No. He just has to sit there and watch everyone else die.

Amid those ever-rising casualties, new generations of Deathbringers are being pushed into combat with less and less training. Seres Champlain, reinstated and recently promoted to chief, knows the perils of this strategy. Because while it might bolster their ranks in the short term, it’s really hard to keep a squad of barely trained newbies alive. In fact, she’s failing pretty badly in that regard.

Humanity needs help, and they need it fast.

Following a particularly devastating loss, Liam learns that the All-Kind have found a suitable candidate species to become humanity’s allies: a species called the Sulti. This might seem like a stroke of luck, except the Sulti have fought the Deathbringers before, and there is no love lost between them.

But they’re going to have to put all that behind them. Because the Sulti Empire, which spans thousands of populated worlds, is where the Ferox have chosen to mount a full-scale invasion.

As everything begins to unravel amid lies, betrayal, and intergalactic politics, Liam and his fellow Deathbringers–as well as one very old AI–must prove what they’re made of, or the very fabric of existence may be torn ... and all hell will quite literally break loose.

The end isn’t coming. It’s already here.

This is such a good series! Highly recommended. Hard core military sci-fi with great storytelling, likable but complex characters and plenty of action.

I thought this book was better than the first by a small margin. I am looking forward to the next installment! It’s fun violence written clearly by someone who understands the mentality. Recommend fully

Fun, violent tragedy

This book is filled with gritty characters full of fault and conviction. The narration by Scott Aiello was top notch, giving each character their own verbal personality. I’m putting him up there with Nick Podehl.

The action was gripping and constant themes of morality and consequence makes the story believable.

The bad being is bad but not without cause. The good guys were good, but not without error. If you’re looking for knights in shining armor, look elsewhere. These troops are born from necessity. And a where necessity requires questionable actions, you end up with some questionable people with good intentions.

Check it out and the Godbreaker series (if you want a great, 3-part, well-narrated back story). You won’t be disappointed.

A roaring story that makes you think
