The Darhel are a race with a highly developed empathic sense. Long ago, they learned that they cannot deal death to another intelligent being without being destroyed by the death agonies of their victim. Even though they have been manipulating other species behind the scenes for millennia, including the humans of planet Earth, they cannot bear to kill another being, and depend on other, less sensitive beings, to do their dirty work.
But now one of the Darhel must kill or be killed. And the fate, not only of his own race, but all of humanity, is riding on his survival. The course of the next thousand years will be determined by whether or not he can learn to fight back. If he cannot, it will be too late...for the entire galaxy.

Still, I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!
Echoing those before

So, I stopped it and went on to listen to Cally’s War. Then came back and still had issues with the time-line.
Finally, just listened to the damn story.
Now, I’m going on to ‘Watch on the Rhine’ hoping like hell that it has Mike and all the rest in it.
Why would they make this book #5? Why not book #12? The last book in the series?
Especially when book #4 starts the distrust of the ‘Elfs’ and ‘Cally’s War’ (book #6) really gets into the Buckley and deep distrust of the Darnels.
Just confusing as hell.
Great Stand-Alone story. NOT BOOK #5

Not bad for a distraction while driving or doing chores.
The story you were reading ended in the last book

The story starts off with a meeting of the team that is going to a planet that has a new enemy on it called the "Tslek" which are "blobs" as they are called they resemble giant amoebas but they must have something going on inside them but its not seen - the team which is all men and 1 woman meets up with a Darhel who can "sense" minds around them at a distance so its like a early warning system - the Darhel comes with the team not trusting him as no one trusts the Darhel but they need him to protect them from the "blobs"
Without giving anything away things end up where there are only 3 members of the team left alive and 1 is the Darhel, what happens in the rest of the story is nothing short of awesome as its a single story arc book and you are always in the action so to speak.
Thats the thing, most of Ringos books are multiple stories mixed into 1 or at least the location changes lots, with this one once the "act" happens and there are only 3 left and 1 is the Darhel the scene never changes to a different location or even room, its all outside on the planet they are on and its great.
So there is a planet with a suspected Tslek base on it and a team is sent to check it out, then the real story starts - the cool thing is that the planet has huge bugs on it and they can eat you if you arent careful and have a armored shell that stops most everything but a armor piercing sniper round or more powerful and some of them are like the size of a Rhino on Earth.
This is highly recommended as long as you have read the other books and fully understand the Darhel, because this one does some strange things for a Darhel.
Much better then I thought it would be
