Hausos is a peaceful farming colony. Once controlled by the Tahni, it's now settled by a collection of homeless refugees and war veterans, among them Cam and Vicky. Their life is pleasantly boring, quiet enough for demons from the war to nag at the corners of Cam’s mind on lonely nights. He fights the demons back with willpower and alcohol, determined to make this place home. But the peace doesn’t last.

Earth is in turmoil. The enemy is bearing down on us with every warship they have, and our only allies are in chaos. Our one hope for survival is Andy Clanton - a hack science fiction writer trying to convince some aliens that humans are worth saving. It’s an uphill battle, because to the aliens, we are the monsters. We look just like their sworn enemies, the Tevynians, who’ve sworn to wipe out both our civilizations. When everything falls apart and the fate of the galaxy is on the line, can Andy Clanton pull our fat out of the fire?

But the war is about to change. Cam is an officer now, fresh out of OCS and taking charge of his old platoon, and things have reached a tipping point.

To free the people the enemy have kept as human shields.

I thought the hard part of helping the Helta defeat the rampaging Tevynians would be the fighting. How wrong I was. To the Helta, we Earthers look just like the Tevynians, their mortal enemies. And convincing their government to ally with humans may be even beyond the crew of the starship James Bowie. But the clock is ticking, because the Tevynian fleet is bearing down on the Helta homeworld. If we can’t talk the Helta into accepting our help to fight them off, then Helta Prime will fall.... And Earth will be next.

As a sci-fi author with a hit TV show, I have a few ideas about what alien invaders are supposed to look like. In my stories, they’re technologically advanced monsters, with tentacles, and no faces. Turns out I was right about the technology. And about how angry they’d be. But the way they look is more terrifying than even I could have imagined. They look exactly like us. Because they are us.

The Jeuta commander, Alvar, has ravaged Wholesale Slaughter’s base on Revelation and taken Katy prisoner. He's holding her hostage to force Logan, the new appointed Guardian of Sparta, to come to them. Alvar hopes his death will throw the whole Dominion into disarray and confusion, making them ripe for invasion. The Spartan Council believes Alvar is right and don’t want to allow Logan to sacrifice himself to save his wife and unborn child...and they definitely don’t want him to take Sparta’s most advanced ship, the Shakak, on the mission.

Already legendary throughout the Periphery, their next job brings them head to head with the Jeuta, militant aliens who seek to loot and plunder isolated human colony worlds.

Logan Conner and Wholesale Slaughter won the day on Revelation, but the Starkad Supremacy doesn’t like failure. If they can’t beat Sparta on the battlefield, they’ll make them fold from within. It’s been over 20 years since the failed coup that killed the rightful Guardian and put Logan’s father on the throne of Sparta, but the same resentments and family rivalries still burn bright. It doesn’t take much for a dissatisfied political rival to be converted into an enemy agent.

Action Packed, Layered Espionage
Jason, Shannon, Jock, Vinny, etc are all back in the 2nd book. It is approximately 6 years later. Former senator O’Keefe is now president. His daughter is a senator and has a daughter with the president’s advisor Glenn. Odd things seem to start happening. The president, Jason and Shannon all believe that it could be General Antonov. A colony is destroyed and brass casings are found. Is it the return of the protectorate or is it someone trying to make it look like the protectorate? Jason and other fly out to investigate.
Shannon and the rest of the team stay back. Was the attack a diversion? General Antonov is always three steps ahead. He is a brilliant psychopath who is bent on taking over ‘his’ planet, Earth. The team investigates a coup within the Colonial Guard or CG to see if there is any tie to the colony attack.
Without giving anything away, I will say that there are so many twists and turns, that no matter when you think you have it figured out, there is another layer of deception and planning. Some of the characters from the first book, do not survive this one and some turn traitor. If you enjoyed the first one, you will definitely enjoy this one.
Ryan Burke, once again did a great job with the characters and narration.

Enjoyed book 1, loved book 2
Great follow on adventure. So many sub plots working through within the overall storyline. None of them dragged on. Great characters from book 1 to book 2 with logical growth over the story time line. Time to find book 3.
