Story
Many millennia ago, the human race was enslaved by the An - a fearsome alien people whose cruel empire once spanned the galaxies, until they were defeated and consigned to oblivion. But a research mission to the planet Ishtar has made a terrifying - and fatal - discovery: The Ahanu, ancestors of the former masters, live on, far from the reach of Earth - born weapons and technology ... and tens of thousands of captive human souls still bow to their iron will.

Story
The Shongairi conquered Earth. In mere minutes, half the human race died, and our cities lay in shattered ruins. But the Shongairi didn't expect the survivors' tenacity. And, crucially, they didn't know that Earth harbored two species of intelligent, tool-using bipeds. One of them, long-lived and lethal, was hiding in the mountains of eastern Europe, the subject of fantasy and legend. When they emerged and made alliance with humankind, the invading aliens didn't stand a chance. Now, a select few blood-drinking immortals are on their way to the Shongairi homeworld.

But in this war of worlds, victory is always elusive. And now a new battle begins. After 20 years of peace, not one but two fragile truces are unraveling.

Story
Once, Jackson Rook was a war hero. Raised from boyhood to pilot an exosuit mech, he’d fought gallantly for the rebellion against the Collectivists. But that was a long time ago, on a world very far away. Now, Jackson Rook is a criminal, a smuggler on board the Multipurpose Supply Vehicle Tar Heel. His latest mission: steal a top-of-the-line mech called the Citadel and deliver it to the far-flung planet Swindle, a world so hostile even the air will kill you. The client: a man known only as the Warlord.

Publisher's Summary
When called to do battle many light years from home, the first Marine Interstellar Expeditionary Unit rose to the challenge - and now thousands of enslaved humans have been freed from the alien yoke. But Earth is 21 years older than the home planet they originally left, and the Marines need time to retrain and readjust - time they do not have, due to the bizzare disappearance of a detachment of their brothers- and sisters-in-arms. It is a mystery, but there is a starting point: an ancient wormhole threading through the Sirius system. Whatever waits on the other side must be confronted, with stealth, with force, and without fear - be it an ancient enemy or a devastating new threat.
The Marines are heading into the perilous unknown...and what transpires there could reshape the universe for millennia to come.

fast paced and interesting take on ancient aliens
Tight military centered, action. Veterans will be able to relate to the portrayal of corporate executives and civilians. The story ties together many ancient alien astronaut legends in an entertaining way.

Love it a great read
I love this book and all the others. I have to place this book series in the top 5 for space operas. I especially like how he was able to tie things in with ancient times and make it rather believe and not to far fetched. Keep them coming please.

Tried it but
What did you like best about Battlespace? What did you like least?
I tried the first two books and wanted it to be good. I was turned off by the constant mentions of weird comments about religion and very little action. Reader was okay but only one voice. I finally got bored.
Would you recommend Battlespace to your friends? Why or why not?
No just not my type of scifi book.
What aspect of David Drummond’s performance would you have changed?
Using several voices would be good.
Did Battlespace inspire you to do anything?
no
