The Verity are in collapse. Clan Shirna is gone. And all along, the ships of the Cygnus Realm have been pushing back until only the Golden are left. Or so Dash thought. With the discovery of two new races and a sphere of stars embroiled in war, Dash hurls the Forge ever deeper into territory where no human can live free. The Golden are no longer merely advisors - now, they are present in the fights themselves, their silver ships gleaming with menace in a war that threatens to incinerate an entire arm of the galaxy.

Great Series!!!
I could not stop listening to the books in this series. The story, the characters, the narration - all top notch!! The growth of the characters from book to book was very well done! The introduction of new characters into the story line was also done with logic, need, and expansion of the plot. Chaney and Maggert told a great story, and Jeffrey Kafer brought it to life. The ending of this book, and the first end to the series, did leave room to continue . . . . and they have done so, which is great!!
My only criticism of the series is that some of the books were too short. I felt they could have added some meat/explanation to the story, but it wasn't a distraction. You sometimes just had to pay attention that things were getting done in the story, but were passed over in a sentence or two as opposed to being the plot of the entire story - and that is not necessarily a bad thing!
I would highly recommend this series to anyone - and I have over and over!!

This is almost a kind of ending for the main story of the series, but there's still 5 books left to go and I'm eager to hear them. Bring on book 11!
