A retired captain. An experimental starship. A war like no other.
When the research starship Galileo vanishes without a trace, the powers-that-be are quick to bury the incident, eager to prevent escalating tensions that could lead to war. As a former POW, Soren refuses to give the ship up for lost.
His daughter is one of the missing.
Taking matters into his own hands, Soren starts pulling strings and calling in favors, determined to launch a clandestine mission to bring Galileo home. When an old friend offers him a ship for the operation, he expects a rusty relic headed for the scrapyard.
Instead, he's given the Wraith—an unfinished, experimental starship with plenty of potential and just as many problems. A marvel of engineering…if his crew can keep her running.
They’d better.
Because Galileo’s disappearance is just the beginning. War is coming to the Federation from the most unlikely of places.
And Soren may be the only one who can stop it.

Best of MR Forbes!!

The plot of the book is interesting and I will continue but the details are all over the place. I mostly have a hard time putting myself in the moment and imagining the action because of temporal, spacial elements. Missiles arrive in space battles instantly, sometimes there is time for dialog, other times a moment delay causes impact, are these ships 10 feet from each other or are they separated. I mostly have to stop trying to imagine it and just listen. Ground combat is similar.
Good enough plot to look past some elements

That being said, I’m disappointed by the lack of world building. This is a sci-fi series, world building is incredibly important for “make believe” settings such as this one. Sadly, I don’t understand the state of the galaxy, human expansion through it, differing factions motivations/beliefs, etc..
This story expects me to believe that the galaxy has somehow been entirely explored (hence why Alex asks if Aliens “invaded the galaxy”). However, the entirety of the Wraith’s crew was apparently on Earth despite being retirees from an interstellar navy. Training planets are referred to as generically as Jungle and Ice, (not New Burma, Tropic Thunder, Amazon, North Pole, Winter Wonderland?) where is the creativity? Bars on training planets still emulate earth’s dive bar aesthetics, the bartenders family is from earth. Halfway through the book and I haven’t been introduced to anyone who is stated to be from anywhere other than earth.
Who are the outworlders? What are the conditions they live in that makes people believe they might revolt?
What part of the galaxy were the “independent planets” in? How many people lived on them? Call me crazy for hoping to get a fleshed out world but I definitely didn’t get it here
World building needs a complete overhaul

If you like the halo books, or star wars books with thrawn this will fill that void.
