Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Raymond L. Weil comes the second book in a new military science fiction series.

The war between the seven alien races of the Confederation and Earth heats up as the two come into direct conflict over the former Human Empire. The people or Earth are determined to free it, and the Confederation is determined to keep it under their strict control.

Fleets meet in combat as the fate of worlds is decided. Earth is hopelessly outmatched as the Confederation controls thousands of inhabited planets. Their resources seem almost unlimited, and Earth only has the Solar System.

In a surprise move, Captain Derrick Masters makes a daring foray into Federation space to discover any Confederation weaknesses and uncovers a horrifying secret. For over a thousand years, the Federation has been conscripting young humans from the empire to use as slaves.

In a dangerous gambit, he manages to learn the fate of those humans. Realizing the only hope Earth has is to bring the former Human Empire into the war, Earth launches a massive attack to free the empire. If they fail, then Earth itself will become a slave world of the Confederation.

Would give 5 stars, but then they pull...

Very enjoyable so far, I just woke hour that this far in the future people would still not be bending the knee to a monarchy and worrying about proper court behavior.

Being a USA citizen , I have never understood all of the hoopla over the Queen and I could give a crap if her skirt is above her knee by a half inch. but, I would like it if they got rid of those stupid hats!!!

But other than the adherence to royalty, enjoying the series.

p.s. maybe someone should plan ahead and put pictures of the outfits that Princess Diana wore, especially the gowns. lol

Awesome Series

This is an awesome series. I have saved it for a while now because they’re the last of his books. This series has a great story with lots of twists and turns.

I hoped the narrator would get better - nope

The narrator is terrible. You would think between book 1 and book 2 with all the comments he would figure out that Kuiper belt is pronounced keye-per not kipper (it is not a a belt wrapped around an English breakfast fish). His different character voices are comical. On another subject, just what exactly is a fusion energy beam supposed to be??? Fusion powered OK, but a fusion energy beam - puuleeezz.

Terrible narration

I truly enjoyed the first book(finished it in one sitting), so I decided to listen to book 2. I wasted 7 bucks on the narrator. If I could return it I would.. Love the story, but having a hard time finishing it.
