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....

Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life...he two things his neglectful mother couldn’t or wouldn’t provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he’d finally found the structure he’d always wanted so desperately. But life in the RMN isn’t exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of budgetary extinction.

Publisher's Summary

The final book in the action-packed, military science fiction Lightship Chronicles series.

Peter Cochrane and his wife, Karina, have been married less than a year. And although things have been quiet in relation to the old Empire during that time, they're about to get a lot hotter. They find themselves on a diplomatic mission to Korivar, an old ally of Pendax, a new member of the Union. But during their mission, the government of Korivar attacks Peter's new command, Defiant, and tries to assassinate him and his wife.

more of the same and that is not always bad

Would you consider the audio edition of Defiant to be better than the print version?

jullian elfer does a great job again, so prob

Who was your favorite character and why?

one would say peter but it really is peter plus karina these days

Have you listened to any of Julian Elfer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

from the series this is the best of the 3

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

yes but if i tell you its a spoiler, it has to do with peter learning the truth over his past

Any additional comments?

nope, just listen if you like militairy space opera with some flirting and political subterfuge

Tough to listen thru....

By the end, I wanted to kill Peter, lol. I'm probably done with this series, as the character because cliche and annoying. The whole structure is nonsensical, and I really hope the founders return and establish some semblance of common sense.
