Publisher's summary

A lost weapon. A forgotten enemy. A new alliance will rise.

An old enemy has returned. Militant zealots backed by a new leader who harbors a thirst for revenge. To face them, Reklin, a retired soldier, must enter the Grand Hunt, a brutal contest where people are prey, and rival teams are culled from the best soldiers in the galaxy. On such a mission, not everyone is coming home.

Ero Bright’Lor, an outcast krey noble, has a mad plan to form an alliance from the outlaw clans. If he can overcome centuries of enmity, their combined might would threaten the entire fleet of the Krey Empire. But the cause needs a leader.

Fortunately for him, a distant scavenger vessel has discovered the wreck of a drifting starship. Beneath the twisted hull of the derelict, Siena has waited 12 years for rescue. As a youth she was augmented into a living weapon, and her power has only grown in captivity....

Don't miss the start of this military sci-fi epic from Ben Hale, number one Amazon best-selling author of The Augmented. It's perfect for lovers of both Star Wars and Star Trek, as well as fans of authors such as Chris Fox, J.N. Chaney, and Lindsay Buroker.

I love this series...so glad it's still going

I suggest reading the augmented series first. it's really great and addictive and I just love sienna!

A great start to new series!

I really loved Alliance of Outlaws. It's a story with two POV's both without knowing it are working towards the goal. First we have Relkin an ex military man who believes that humans have rights too. And is gonna fight for 'em. And then there's Ero Bright'Lor whose been the disavowed son of a Krey noble house. And he's ready to take down the whole Krey governing body to assure that the humans equal rights.
It's a great start to a new series. Both POV's are really compelling and I recommend that you'll need to add this story to your library... Ohhhh and btw Ryan Kennard Burke did a great job narrating this book.

Good story, poor voice performance.

Good story and continuation of the series. Really bad voice performance. Ruined it for me, especially after such a good group of voice actors for the Augmented series.

excellent

Been waiting for this for awhile. I was not disappointed. I'll be sitting here twiddling my thumbs for the next. this is a must hear/read series. Fair warning it's addictive and a very long series.

Excellent Continuation From The Augmented Series!

I am so invested in the story and the characters. The author did a masterful job with this new series! Unfortunately, I have to concur with the other reviewers regarding the narration. I was so disappointed in how the narrator portrayed the characters' voices, especially the noble Reklin's voice. However, I loved the story so much that I did continue to listen. All in all, a really great book! Please keep them coming!

Wow for as a start to a new series it’s amazing!!!!

The story was packed with exciting, and tense action scenes. Packed with all them emotions from intense happiness to sadness. I enjoyed it, and can’t wait to listen to the one whenever it comes out.

Another fantastic book

another great novel from Ben Hale! expanding the universe yet again with another story in the timeline. I can't wait for the rest of this trilogy or more!

Not disappointed in the long wait.

Great start to this Trilogy, I will say however, this could have just been added to the augmented series, since it is a continuation of the last trilogy and unlike BH's other Luminea books these have the distinction of having the same characters along with a few new ones, whereas the other series are separated by thousands of years.

The story starts off strong and continues that way throughout the first book. There is a lot to unpack in terms of what's happening and I think the author does a great job in bringing these people together. I am sad a the loss of one of my favorite characters, so get ready for that.

A lot of the reviews here focus on the narrator, I want to say this because it is true: he does a fine job with his performance. The issue is that the trio of voice actors in the augmented did so well with that trilogy and we are dealing with the same characters that it can be tough to accept as a fan one narrator. Had this been a new story with a similar distant connection to the previous work as is with the rest of his series this would not be an issue or even be noticed.

I still enjoyed the work and look forward to the rest of the series.

Love the story, want the previous narrator back

The narrator for this book is different than for the previous three Augment books, and the voices for the warrior race are just awful. The narrator sounds like he has a high baritone or tenor voice and is trying to reach below his range for those voices, and it’s just awful. I’m trying to get past it, as I love the characters and the writer’s storytelling.

Enjoyable, but has a few flaws

Interesting story, some parts don't make much sense, like the age of some of the characters.
