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.

An enjoyable continuation

I found this book well written and fun, if I had a complaint it would be that the author recaps the story a lot (a little too much).

Loved both books

Loved both the story and Mark Boyett is one of my favorite narrators.
This looks to be a good multi-book space opera...
Come on Audible -- I am waiting on the next two books...
