Story
Seventy years ago, the interstellar supercarrier Ark Royal was the pride of the Royal Navy. But now, her weapons are outdated and her solid-state armour nothing more than a burden on her colossal hull. She floats in permanent orbit near Earth, a dumping ground for the officers and crew the Royal Navy wishes to keep out of the public eye. But when a deadly alien threat appears, the modern starships built by humanity are no match for the powerful alien weapons.

Story
Starting a war with an enemy 100 times stronger is insane. It’s desperate. And it’s Earth’s only hope. A massive alien power looms over humanity, claiming Earth as its territory and humanity as its slaves. The Hegemony has already taken over one colony, yoking hundreds of thousands under their brutal rule. Every tactical exercise, every war game, and every simulation gives humanity zero chance in a defensive campaign.

In the early 22nd century, humanity has spread through the solar system - and their electromagnetic signals have traveled hundreds of light years. An alien race called the Oghaldzon has decided that mankind is dangerously insane...and must be forcibly taken under control. The invasion fleet's technology is decades ahead of Earth's best. They have more ships than the human fleets combined, and a seemingly-inexhaustible number of ground troops. And they're not afraid to kill billions of people.

A tyranny stretching over thousands of worlds. The grand dreams of the founders are a joke. The Thousand Families, the rulers of the Empire, care nothing for anything save their own power. From the undercity of Earth to the new colonies at the Rim, discontent, anger, and rebellion seethe, but there is no hope of breaking the power of the Empire and freeing the trillions of enslaved humans and aliens.

Story
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

When an alien armada destroys the United Earth Space Force and takes control of the human homeworld, newly reinstated Captain Annette Bond must take her experimental hyperspace cruiser Tornado into exile as Terra's only interstellar privateer. She has inferior technology, crude maps, and no concept of her enemy, but the seedy underbelly of galactic society welcomes her so long as she has prizes to sell and money to spend.

The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world...or you can join the service. With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth.

To make matters worse, there’s a murderer running loose on board the ship, critically low fuel levels, and the Grish are back, in fast pursuit and ready to finish what they’d started. Only by sheer luck - and a good measure of cagey smarts - will Quintos be able to rise to the challenge.

Publisher's Summary
It’s a star system fight to the death to be on the right side of history in the final explosive Kat Falcone novel by bestselling author Christopher G. Nuttall.
The Commonwealth Civil War has stalemated, but both sides - desperate to win at all costs - are looking for ways to end the fighting before everything they’ve built is turned to ash. King Hadrian, on the edge of madness, searches for allies who might help, at a price. His enemies, all too aware the battle is far from won, search for long-forgotten truths that might tear the king’s forces apart and end the war in a single blow. For Admiral Kat Falcone and Commodore William McElney, caught on opposite sides, everything they’ve ever loved is at stake.
William knows a secret, a secret that may end the war if he and his friend Kat can work together long enough to use it. But powerful forces are arrayed against them, intent on fighting the war to the bitter end. One false move and they’ll both fall into fire...
...And hundreds of planets will burn with them.

Too much political nonsense
Personally, I don't like politics & stories that are mostly political. If you're emotionally invested in the story so far, then this is an okay ending to the story arc. Not being from Scotland, this is only speculation, but I think that the politics reflect Scotland's & Britain's politics in the past.
There are some discrepancies in the story. For example, at the end of the last story arc, Kat drops her ring into Pat's grave as he is being buried. In this story, she has it on her hand. It is briefly mentioned in a single sentence.
Also, there are times when the Audible narration says a planet's name at the start of a chapter which is obviously not the correct planet. Somebody needed to proof read this better.
Overall, I still enjoyed the story.

The immediate war ends and yet another is setup
With the revelations of the middle volume it became apparent which side would be victorious and this book moves forward to that conclusion while still attempt to provide some suspense and broaden the story. William meets with Kat to pass the truth along and soon after the war is brought to a conclusion just as it appears that everything is ready to fall apart. Hopefully this reset will allow KAT and William to move on to joint effort in among the frontier worlds and a more interesting story line.

No character development
I thoroughly enjoyed the earlier novels in this series but these last two novels have zero character development. The characters are completely flat. Reads like someone narrating a Halo video game. I would suggest author developing characters like he did with Jasmine in earlier books in series and Kat Falcone and William McEnally in Falcone Strike series.

I was entertained and I do like the Falcone universe.
however, the narrator do not have good enough voice range to give life to the characters. sometimes it's very difficult to distinguish between which character is speaking because they all sound similar.

Gran final pero....
buen libro en general, mantiene la coherencia del resto de la obra, pero sentí como que lo acabo demasiado rápido resumiendo todo en los últimos capítulos, un final simple todo se solucionan como por arte de magia, no hay un momento épico que cierre la trilogía faltaba más acción al final o un twist que te deje satisfecho, al acabarlo fue como bueno eso fue todo ahí quedó, una sensación de insatisfacción que aún me perdura pero no es para nada un mal libro
