When unexpected enemies deal themselves in, Jared must bet everything on a single hand. Bluffing might get him killed but folding isn't an option.

Story
Geary believed in the Alliance. Even when he uncovered overwhelming evidence that the highest echelons of the government and fleet command were involved in secret programs and prison camps, he believed it was worth saving. He believed his duty was to see that justice was served even though some factions feared that revealing the truth would cause the Alliance to crumble. But after narrowly surviving two assassination attempts when he brings evidence of the misdeeds to the capital star system, Geary realizes that some want to get rid of him.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Little did Van realize, the old man's tales were more than fiction; they were real. Hidden beneath the old barn, Van’s legacy is waiting: a starship, not of this world. With his combat AI, an android bird named Perry, Van takes his first steps into the wider galaxy. He soon finds that space is far busier and more dangerous than he could have ever conceived.

Story
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

One starship will either save Earth or destroy her. A century ago our star erupted, destroying Earth's wormhole network and closing off trade with her colonized planets. After being out of contact with the younger worlds for so many years, humanity is shocked when a huge ship appears at the edge of the solar system. Our outdated navy investigates, both curious and fearful. What they learn from the massive vessel shocks the planet.

Story
Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Earth is conquered. Sol is lost. One ship is tasked to free them. One Captain to save them all. When an alien armada destroys the United Earth Space Force and takes control of the human homeworld, newly reinstated Captain Annette Bond must take her experimental hyperspace cruiser Tornado into exile as Terra's only interstellar privateer. She has inferior technology, crude maps, and no concept of her enemy, but the seedy underbelly of galactic society welcomes her so long as she has prizes to sell and money to spend.

When Klingon commander Kruge died in combat against James T. Kirk on the Genesis planet back in 2285, he left behind a powerful house in disarray - and a series of ticking time bombs: the Phantom Wing, a secret squadron of advanced Birds-of-Prey; a cabal of loyal officers intent on securing his heritage; and young Korgh, his thwarted would-be heir, willing to wait a Klingon lifetime to enact his vengeance.

Story
They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice. A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them. The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we're less primitive. Today, we're a target.

The Story Arc has hit some pot holes
I am not a fan of alternate universe storyline injections. To often they mess up a building story. If they are stand alone that is OK but to bring it into an existing story is not often successful. I will be interesting to see what happens in the next installment.

Are you in a alternative Universe now ?
This is a continuation of the series which fills in the missing elements from
earlier in the series.
If you are familiar with this series you will probably be satisfied with the story.
The Narrator helped move the story along.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review

Terry's story telling and Veronica's narration make for a good time.
Been listening to everything from these two, this series as well as others, have been thoroughly entertained.

listen to them in order
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
So, I'll preface my review with the fact that the only other book in the series I've listened to is book 1... I enjoyed it, so agreed to listen and review this one too. I didn't realize I was jumping so far forward in the series, though, so was really pretty lost most of the book. I was interested enough that I kept listening and finished the book, but with the cliffhanger ending, I was still feeling really lost on the series.

More Empire Of Bones
I love Space Operas and this series is one of the best. Terry Mixon keeps coming up with new twists to tie previous themes to the newer stories. The "good" characters are interesting and likable and the "bad" ones are dastardly and suitably evil. At times you need to suspend belief, but hey, it is science fiction. Warning, this is a series and there is a cliffhanger. I consider this a good thing because I know there will be at least one more adventure to share with the Empire Of Bones gang. I usually use a new book in the saga to go back and listen to the whole series again. I found the stories as enjoyable as the first time I listened to them.
As usual Veronica Giguere does a great job with the narration.
I was given this book free at my request for an unbiased review.

Moving forward with battle plans with a few bumps
*I was given this free review copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Veronica. I'm astounded by Veronica's voice work each time I hear her. She's great at different voice tones, personalities, and accents to differentiate each character as they speak. I love it! And this book/series, well, Terry gives her a wide cast to vocalize and make individual. And Veronica does that with what feels ease to a listener. She's one of my top favorite narrators.
Wow. Book eight!? It doesn't even feel like I should be on book eight. This is definitely a series you need to read in order.
It's been a while since I finished book 7, so I'm thrilled with the brief refresher in discussions happening to bring me back up to speed with where everyone is. I love how Terry easily inserts the relevant details to let us know where everyone is sitting and makes them important to the here and now moment. Terry also adds a new element to his people that he keeps organized for us. When you listen or read the books, you'll see what it is. I know I've said this before but Terry is a master at handling a large cast of characters so I know who they are and where they are from or at. This is a huge talent I appreciate as a listener.
With being book eight, we use what we've come across in the universe. Terry gives us a surprise visitor from Omega. If you aren't aware, Omega is connected to other universes that are of a parallel feel to the one we "live" in. And we get to see that here.
As many things move forward, somethings go backward. Jared and many others are moving forward in the battle against AI's and preparing. They need the scepter to open vaults, as do others in another universe. They move forward with living their lives and against the AI's, but something Jared dealt with before has surfaced to be his obstacle again, along with the dangers they face in their battle.
It feels as we are getting a do over with a few items as we tend to the needs of another universe, but there is a new element to all this. In explaining all that they bring to the doppelgangers, we get the whole story on what we've found in the previous seven books along with how it all connects. This was a bonus for me as I need reminded about the Singularity and Old Empire war and how the AI's fit into it all.
It felt as though there wasn't as much danger in the first half of the book, but building up to what could happen and placing all the proper details in the right places and to the correct people to use them. Then, once we take off, there will be lots of trouble to fight through.
Ugh. We end on a cliffhanger ending. Things aren't resolved at the end and there are several huge things happening here. It feels like there is so much more to happen, and it'll be all action. I want it!! I've seen the next book is out, so I'll have to get to it to resolve what we have here. I'm hoping it ties in with this ending as I really want to know!

FUN AND ENTERTAINING!
I haven't listened to most of the series before this one but, with that said, I really liked this story. It was fun, very entertaining, and had lots of action and plot twists.
I think it's really well done, both writing and narration, and I'll be grabbing some more of the books in the series in the future to listen to :) Enjoyed it!!

I just wish we would have gotten the original back, or at least learned more of what's happening with that group.
