Publisher's Summary

The future of the galaxy will be shaped by one battle. An alliance is at the crux of Earth’s success.

Captain Kyle Torres, now back in command of the Ichi, hand-picks his crew for their most dangerous mission yet. They scour the galaxy, searching for the home world of the Va’alen, with the hope of destroying them once and for all.

Their journey takes them to never-before-explored sectors of space, and the secrets they uncover lead to an alliance with an unexpected ally. Admiral Dassiova, recovered from his grievous wounds, fights to prove his worthiness as a leader, but the Va’alen have plans of their own. A desperate assault uncovers truths humanity never expected in the bid to bring peace and prosperity to humanity and to draw territory lines across space to last forever.

Story not as good

Loved the prior books. This one just didn't engage me. Kept hoping it would change so did finish the book but no joy in doing so.

great series

It was a great series. i wish the ending was a little more epic but it was good!

A Fun Series

I really enjoyed the whole series. Nothing too deep. Just an action packed fun red of good characters and enjoyable moments. There are some moments that make you scratch your head, but they are still small and can be overlooked. Well worth the credits.

Awesome as always

Loved the book but for some reason this book had quite a few audio errors where it would repeat lines every once and awhile. Loved it either way though.

A perfect finale of a series

I finished this book within 24 hours of starting it. I normally don’t like books that seem to have endless points of view. However, the author and narrator were able to make the voices sound different enough that you could clearly tell who’s point of view it was from. An amazing end to the series.

Finale. Good but not as good as the others.

Book 5 is the finale in the series, but I thought it was the weakest in the series. It was good anyway, and having listened to the first 4 books, it’s a must.

It was a very enjoyable series with great character development, a good mix of war, and lots of fun characters. Some reviewers criticized the lack of accurate/strict military protocol, but frankly, that’s part of the fun in the books. It makes for plenty of clever and humorous dialogue.

And of course, Luke Daniels is outstanding, as always.

Good book great series.

I really enjoyed all of these books. Lots of characters and action. Luke Daniels Is an awesome narrator!

Great sci-fi brain candy.

Great sci-fi brain candy. Great plot and some interesting geopolitical futurism. Good old fashion shoot em action.

Editor failed

Luke Daniels hams up some voices a little too much, but the most distracting thing in this book was that whoever did the editing left several duplicate takes in.

Definitely my favorite military SciFi series!

I loved the first four books and this one just continued the lovefest for me. One other thing, these books have some profanity, but I'm grateful that the author doesn't feel the need to use it as a crutch. The author is able to effectively set the tension of the military setting and struggle without strings of Fbombs. It's refreshing actually.

Great story

Expansion series is excellent. Really enjoyed it. Let’s hope there is a follow up series.

slow moving and a bit flat

the first 2 books were great, since then I have found the series a bit flat and slow going.

blockbuster movie material

great listen, Devon ford is wasted writing books he should be writing scripts for Hollywood

allies in space

a great continued tale of the main characters from the first story when jake was nearly killed through to the battle of the Val Hallen were he takes out the hive lords great series should be made into a sifi series on TV, only one fault why call the enlisted guys sea men when in space surely it should be space mam 1st class rather than sea man 1st class
as they are in space not at sea .

Great story and narration but…

Loved the story but audio version is a mess at least the one I listened to. Some pieces of the stream are not were they are supposed to be, some gets repeated 20min later, …

Repeats it self on few places

Some pet of the story repeats it self the narration is not well edited. Shame as RC BRAY is great

Wow - that ending!

This series is so full of characters you just want to get behind and support! The book as ever is very well written, with a storyline full of twists and turns. The book ended with a great finale and epic battle - as ever Brandt and Zero were fabulous, but I loved all of the characters. Really recommend
