Story
There is an unseen power in the universe - a terrible force that was dominating the galaxy tens of thousands of years before the warlike Sh'daar were even aware of the existence of Sol and its planets. As humankind approaches the Singularity, when transcendence will be achieved through technology, contact will be made. In the wake of the near destruction of the solar system, the political powers on Earth seek a separate peace with an inscrutable alien life form that no one has ever seen.

Story
The United States of North America is now engaged in a civil war with the Earth Confederation, which wants to yield to the demands of the alien Sh'daar, limit human technology, and become a part of the Sh'daar Galactic Collective. USNA President Koenig believes that surrendering to the Sh'daar will ultimately doom humankind. But when highly advanced, seemingly godlike aliens appear through an artificial wormhole in the Omega Centauri Cluster 16,000 light years from Earth, President Koenig is faced with a tremendous choice.

Story
Trevor Gray has been stripped of his command of the starship America and is unsure what to do with his life. Having dedicated so much of himself to the service, he knew following the super-AI Konstantin’s advice could have severe consequences. He just never thought he would be out of the fight. Because that’s what Earth is in: a fight against a sinister alien force that is so technologically advanced, there seems little hope. That’s why he had disobeyed his orders in the first place: to figure out a way to stop them. But now he’s beached - just what Konstantin wanted.

Civilizations have risen and fallen. The Andromeda Galaxy is drifting into the Milky Way. And Earth is most certainly a distant memory.

Lord Commander Grayson St. Clair has guided the Tellus Ad Astra to a part of the universe no human - and possibly no race known to man - has ever seen. Far from the worlds they know, the colony ship is on its own facing...something that seems to have no weakness. Something whose sole purpose seems to be devouring civilizations. With both time and space as enemies, St. Clair must figure out a way to explore this new corner of space, maintain military order on a mission that was supposed to be civilian, and - somehow - bring the Tellus Ad Astra back to the Milky Way.

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.

Publisher's Summary
The fourth book in the epic saga of humankind's war of transcendence
Humanity had appeared to fend off the Sh'daar assault once and for all, though they never learned why the alien empire was driven to halt Earth's advancement toward technological Singularity.
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. Alexander Koenig, the former Navy commander whose heroics forced the Sh'daar into submission, has won a second term as President of the United States of North America. But pursuing his mandate - sovereignty from the centuries-old Earth Confederation - becomes a risky proposition due to events taking place on the other side of the galaxy. A Confederation research vessel has been ambushed. Destroyers are descending on a human colony. It seems the Sh'daar have betrayed their treaty, and all nations must stand united - or face certain death.

Lots of ?????'s
I love this series and I am looking forward to more of it. However this book seems to get lost in itself and in the end nothing great has been accomplished. It basically ends at the same point it begins with no real new information given about the situation.
Also there are several "Sub plots" like Grey's girlfriend that are annoying.
Really you could swap out Gregory for Grey and you would have the last book all over again.

Very repetitive
If you have read the first three novels, and you have, then you know that the author is somewhat repetitive. He re-explains the concepts introduced in previous books, most authors do, He will also sometimes repeat concepts already covered previously in the same book, annoying but not a huge deal. Here he takes this repetitiveness to extremes as many concepts are explained at least twice and several more than that. To some extent he does this in the first three novels but not nearly as much. I suspect he was trying to fill in pages for a story that is somewhat short and obviously laying the groundwork for future novels. I will definitely continue to read the series I just hope the next four books are more like the first three with more story and less repetition.
As far as the narrator I suspect this series would only be half as good without him. He gives perfect inflection and pacing for every scene but is best at action and exploration scenes.

Some of, if not THE best hard sci-fi writing ever
The Star Carrier series is some of the most captivating and scientifically nerdy hard sci-fi stories I've ever read or listened to. It is up there with the best in my opinion.
The story of Deep Space (this fourth book of the series) adds a new layer of depth to the ongoing saga. I won't go into specifics but the new layers add surprises and quality to each scene and to the overall story.
I've obsessively listened through books 1-4 in just a couple of weeks as work allowed. I just downloaded book five while listening to the epilogue and will start listening to it as soon as I post this review.
The cliffhanger epilogue introducing Book 5's story was AWESOME from a purely scientific standpoint. I can't wait to uncover the depths of the story.
The narration is great as well. Representation of the diversity of alien languages and their "english" accents is one of my favorite details in this series.

Space is awesome! A lot of repeating though.
I find this series of books very addictive, because they describe space and all the questions the universe represent, so well it all most feels like reading our future.
There is still a lot of repeating of things through out the book which can be annoying. But the storytelling is very good in my opinion. Sure it's convenient that the main characters are so involved and seem to beat all odds. But it makes for a good story.
I love it.!
