Publisher's summary

Benjamin Wrath is among the first officers to get sent to the Andromeda Galaxy.

As part of the Sentient Crime Division, millions of light years from Earth, Wrath's precinct is in charge of maintaining order in a chaotic new frontier, tasked with protecting the rights of all sentient beings.

But that's only the beginning.

While investigating a triple homicide, he'll also have to prevent more killings, stand against internal corruption, and stop a war that threatens to unravel an empire.

With clashing alien cultures and tension on both sides, his task isn't easy, especially out here where the only person you can rely on is yourself...and backup isn't coming.

Experience this exciting new series from USA Today best-selling authors J.N. Chaney and Scott Moon. If you're a fan of explorative, gritty sci-fi, this is the series for you.

Not for me.

This started well, but I'm very much done with this kind of protagonist in military scifi. The 'damaged' kind.

Call it a lack of empathy or whatever, but it just doesn't interest me.

I also didn't like the way he dealt with people and situations. it screamed ameteur who's constantly reacting rather than competent pro.

Not for me.

Fantastic, new series! Interstellar, mysteries, abound!

A phenomenal start to a new series by Moon and Chaney. Great characters inhabit a wonderfully realized new galaxy filled with intrigue, and mystery!

Highly recommend!

Good story with plenty of mysteries!

This book was an excellent blend of sci-fi police/soldier and mystery. Definitely felt like something I’ve never read before. Interesting characters and well done on the narration. I must admit I would love to learn more about the backstory of the characters. There are references to previous wars and I want to know more! i highly recommend it and another great JN Chaney entry.

Another great book from Chaney and Moon

As expected, this one rocked. I can't say enough good things about these writers and this book, but that's par for the course with anyone Chaney writes with. He cowrites a lot and it is always high quality. This was no exception. Loved the story and the creativity on display here. Boyett brings his A-game to the book and I am absolutely loving it.

ok but more a mystery than Sci Fi

it isn't a bad story, it just isn't very sci-fi. in spite of aliens and spaceships, it feels more like a detective story. that said, it's a decent detective story

Awesome book

A great story with awesome characters, narrated by one of the best. Galactic Shield tells an interesting story about Humanity's early days in the Andromeda Galaxy and the first intergalactic police precinct. Their mission is to keep the peace and help both Humans and aliens alike survive and thrive in what is essentially the Wild West of space. The lead character "Breaker" is a tough and experienced cop just trying to help people. Personally, I love seeing characters like this and I find them inspiring. Breaker is perfectly played by Mark Boyett, who brings his tested vocals to the book and provides a great rendition. I hope more books follow (seems to be the plan) very soon as I am already very eager for more.
