The first interstellar war, a generation ago, left humanity enslaved. Now humans fight in the armies of their masters to save themselves from annihilation. At least, that's what the propaganda insists is true.

What the layers of lies keep hidden is how badly the new war is going for the people of earth. Now it's Dylan Kane's turn to blast into the heavens and join the battle, but what his masters don't know is that by putting a weapon in his hands, they're giving him the key to unlocking his hopes of freedom.

When the railgun slugs are tearing through his ship, and the vacuum is sucking the life out of his wounded friends, will Dylan's years of repressed rage turn into enough bravery to make his dream come true?

I enjoyed the story and will be starting the next one immediately after this review.

Good book

Don't expect the story to be tidily completed. I'm OK with that if I have prior knowledge and don't expect more. Another reviewer compared it to the ending in the Dark Tower series. You go on an epic journey with characters you become invested in and are left feeling "huh"?

I wasn't comfortable with the North Koreans as major human villains. I don't see them having the population to do as much collaborating as they did. I found they're being brought up so frequently jarring and xenophobic.

Some people raved about the opening chapter but it struck me as very dark and disagreeable. The six-book set was on my Wish List but every time I listened to the sample from the first chapter I put it back. Greg Tremblay was the only reason I revisited it. I was happy to see the story in Audible Plus.

A prequel or prologue would have been nice. I would have rated it higher except for the way the series ended.

The series has an unsatisfactory ending

I wasn't sure I was going to make it through this book after the first chapter. One of the first things I noticed was the narrator's exclusion of the middle T in certain words. Extremely annoying. And I was thinking it was going to sound like a Si-Fi Harlequin romance after the wrinkled old lady sex scene. Looking back though, I suppose it did help with building the main character. The story started slow, but picked up along the way. By the end of the book I was pretty interested in the story. I became interested in a couple of the other characters too. I'll listen to the next book and see how it goes. I thought this book had a good mixture of character building and action. Hopefully the next book will do the same and it will build on the other companions.

Not Bad

its been a fantastic journey thus far, just a little over halfway and it feels like I'm in the book, a part of the grunts.

fantastic epic!

When ever i pick a new book I have the worse anxiety. The fear i wont like content or the narrator but this book played out well.

The narrator delivered the right amount of vocal tone change to hear the character change and the Author delivered content in a space setting I enjoyed. Decent characters and overall a believable plot.

Give it a chance.

This series has been around for a while (even though it's still growing). Wonderfully written by Bobby Adair, and as usually narrated masterfully by Greg Tremblay, one of my favorate narrators! This story reminds me alot of, "The Old Man's War," by John Scalzi, not that they have anything in common, but in the interesting style of being technical, but not technical since our protaganist is a, "newbie," to actual combat, even though he takes to it like he was born to it, well, most of the time. Our Protaganist gives us a great look into his thinking, will suppressing that thinking to the aliens that have taken Earth into their loving enbrace (conquered it), and with their fateful and loyal helper's (the North Koren's, who sold out the human race, and have an elevated status that allows them to treat the rest of the world as they do their own people. Strictly, it's not PC, but it's pretty on the nose. As well, one of their first requests to the aliens, refered to as the, "Gray's," is to destroy South Korea!). Dylan Kane, our hero, is as privaleged as any American can get, one becuase he has a bug in his head that hes had since basically his birth, which allows him to see gavational fields (Like the aliens can do naturally and more profiently), and maybe other things he has yet to figure out and two, he's been able to "block," his real feelings from the alien's, who are telepathic, presenting instead a mind full of loyal and subservient thoughts. A willingness to please their new masters! Life under the aliens at first was not horrible, but then a second alien group called the "Trogs" (From Troglodites), who seem, despite the propaganda, to be soundly beating the "Grays," and of course, the "Grays" are throughing away human lives by the millions in this fight, with substandard equipment, very little information, and now, as Kane signs up (with most the people from his job), with the military as part of his plan and the plan of his collegues, to get ships and start the, "Free Navy," so they can fight the Trogs since appertly the only tactic the "Grays" have is using humans as fodder (The average new recruit has a life expendecy of minutes or hours. In fact, the equipment that each recruit uses has signs of the tramatic death of it's previous user). Then after defeating the Trogs, they would have the ships to drive off the Grays and free their world! The plan sounds good, but the execution is turning out to be a problem, and worse, Kanes superior is a lunatic that believes her authourty is more important than effective tactics and the soilders lives, underneath her.
While tackling all this, Adair has infused this book a suprizing amount of humor, which is amazing considering the accurate protrayal of how bloody, deadly, and horrible war can be. As well, he adds technological and scientific reality into this book, but if this isn't a strong point for you, he handles this deftly, and gives explanations that you can understand! This is a book well worth reading, I'd say even, a must read!

What if you started a revolution and nobody came?

the only problem with this book is it's too short for a full credit or the money, but since I bought the box set the price is good as well. I've only listened to the first book so far, but man it is good! by the box set while it's on sale.

A masterpiece of sci-fi!

Another good series from Bobby Adair. I’m hooked once again by another of his series of books. I’m going to get the box set.

Once again greatness

Just so so... it was free so is the rest of the series. I’ll probably keep listening just as a filler while I wait on the next book in the other series I listen to. The narrator reads soooo slow. I had to speed the book up to 1.5 to stay awake, better than Jeffery Kafer though.

A solid Meh!
