Publisher's summary

The battle against the Lankies has been won. Earth seems safe. Peacetime military? Not on your life.

It’s been four years since Earth threw its full military prowess against the Lanky incursion. Humanity has been yanked back from the abyss of extinction. The solar system is at peace. For now.

The future for Major Andrew Grayson of the Commonwealth Defense Corps and his wife, Halley? Flying desk duty on the front. No more nightmares of monstrous things. No more traumas to the mind and body. But when an offer comes down from above, Andrew has to make a choice: continue pushing papers into retirement, or jump right back into the fight? What’s a podhead to do?

The remaining Lankies may have retreated in fear, but the threat isn’t over. They need to be wiped out for good before they strike again. That’ll take a new offensive deployment. Aboard an Avenger warship, Andrew and the special tactics team under his command embark on the ultimate search-and-destroy mission. This time, it’ll be on Lanky turf.

No big heroics. No unnecessary risks. Just a swift hit-and-run raid in the hostile Capella system. Blow the alien seed ships into oblivion and get the hell back to Earth. At least, that’s the objective. But when does anything in war go according to plan?

Marko Kloos does it again !!

I really enjoyed this story line . I hope we are fixing to get more in-depth with the Lankies. Marko has been dangling tidbits, especially in this book . I hope in the next book we get to see more about what makes them “tick”! I enjoyed the relationships between characters that he has built in this book and I hope he’ll keep developing & growing them . As to the new narrator....I think he’s doing a fantastic job !! I appreciate that Marko and his team took the time to find a new narrator that sounds a lot like the original !!!! Keep up the great work Marko .....and like I always say about your books , “ WRITE FASTER !!!! I want to spend more time in this universe!!”

One heck of a cliffhanger

the wait was well worth it even where it ended I can't wait for the next book

another great one

if you like the series this is another step in the story but the cliffhanger ending leaves me hanging

love the series

I need more, and fast lol. really enjoy the series started when their was already 6 books out. went through them fast and now I have to wait for book 8+

Half a book

This was basically just a half of a book. Also no Luke Daniels. Needs more. I’m all for a cliffhanger, but I’d like a story to go along with it.

hoping for different narrator

I bought the book right when it came out cause the other ones were good and this is a good book but with a different narrator then all the rest. the other narrator was really good and this one is good but not the same.

please don't make me wait for the next one.

This is the first real cliffhanger ending, I really hope the next book is soon.

Should have been longer

Worst cliff hanger but over all great addition. I would recommend to friends of the series.

Yes, a different narrator, but a good read.

Most of the bad reviews have to do with the narrator change. Mr Dove does a good job keeping the vocalizations as close to Mr. Daniels read as possible. Halfway in, I had to remind myself that it wasn't Luke Daniels.

I read in an interview somewhere that Mr. Kloos stated that if he had to have Luke Daniels do the narration, the release would had to have been delayed by as much as a year. Luke Daniels is just that much in demand. Even with the change, the release came several months after the print edition.

Give it a fair shake. Eric Dove was in a tough spot and pulled it off well.

Good but...

What happened to Luke Daniels!!! Eric does a good job but after 6 books of listening to Luke it’s hard to switch to someone else.
