Spheres of Influence

Stellar Heritage, Book 2

By: Bob Mauldin

Narrated by: Mark Boyett

After the events at Camp David, the Terran Alliance faces a crossroads - act upon this tragedy and start a war, or refrain and change the course of history.

The choice is not easy. The incident leaves a young captain, Lucy Grimes, in full control of the Alliance, thrust against her will into leadership of the most powerful organization known to man.

As the Terran Alliance grows in size and strength, there are those both on Earth and off who see this as a direct threat. While the Alliance endeavors to defend its home world from all enemies, both foreign and domestic, they soon find that this fledgling organization isn’t going down without a fight.

An alien civilization known as the Korvil has captured two humans and are torturing them to learn more about this new enemy. Things suddenly shift when the Shiravi - dubbed the Builders - mount a daring attack on a Korvil ship that results in their rescue. The events this sets into motion will change the frontier of the galaxy for generations to come....

Great stroy. I got catch in it from time to time. Forgetting it was not real. Wishing I could be a part of it.

Going to get the next one..

Idk man

I didn’t really like how Simon is basically demoting himself from his responsibilities. The slowly creeping fact that the author is pushing and sometimes seems forcing gender equality, and the beginning of “woke” feminism girls rule type thing. Instead of whoever is better at the job. Idk maybe bc of the year I am leaving this review on that ideologies, forcing themselves, always becomes a pendulum swing to the people.

Over all story I love. I’ve become a nerd on first contact/ military scfi. Ending of last book had my stomach in knots and skipped breakfast that morning was that good. We shall see how the story progresses, and hope to see more of Simon.

A great follow up book

Having read all of the books of this series a few years ago, l was looking forward to downloading the audio book as well. I have enjoyed it, but like a few other series that I love. I think having two people reading the words would have been a good thing. l recommend the book and the series. lt was a shame that we have lost the author, who was called to join out in space before his time.

more please

I'm looking forward to the next book. I can't wait for it to come out

MARVELOUS SERIES: Each book that follows is better

Whilst I have enjoyed books 1 through 3, none of them are nearly as delightful as book-4. What a splendid finale!
Generally, in connection with other great SCI-FI audio books I have enjoyed, I have usually preferred the first, original volume...
Notwithstanding such an experience, the opposite occurred this time around, for each book of the STELLAR HERITAGE group appeared to be increasingly most dynamic and exciting than the previous one.
Although the Epilogue contents (of Book-4) did not transpire any suggestion for another chapter, I daresay that I do look forward to a "follow-up" work from the author - Bob Mauldin; I truly hope that he will surprise me.
ADDENDUM: THIS COMMENT REPRESENTS A VERSION OF WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN UNDER THE LAST BOOK OF THIS SERIES-4
BRAVO!
