Story4.5 out of 5 stars 97
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.

Story5 out of 5 stars 66
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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 181
Logan Conner has given up the life of a warrior prince to become Jonathan Slaughter, a mercenary captain of a rough-and-ready band of mech-jocks for hire. 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. The fearsome Jeuta raiders will task Logan to his limits, but they’re only a sideshow to Wholesale Slaughter’s real operation objective - locating a treasure trove at the legendary Terminus Cut outpost.

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.

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 battle for Sparta has begun.
Logan Brannigan has taken back his father’s name and now he and Wholesale Slaughter fight to reclaim his father’s throne.

When former allies are forced into opposing sides, who can Logan trust to have his back...and who will deliver the Judas kiss?

final nail
I was really exited about this series for the first 3 books, as it fit really well with playing the Battletech game. I saw it as a great advantage of the series that it did not involve standard religions, but Rick had to fuck that up and started inserting Christianity into the story, because of course he had to. But here in book 5 it's gone over to straight up christian propaganda.
"she had been very circumspect about trying to share her families' faith with Logan, knowing how intertwined the office of the guardian was with the state religion.
I think, he replied, that maybe what Sparta needs is an old faith, a real faith that people stuck with even when they could be jailed or killed for believing in it, to give the them strength in a time when the institutions they trust have betrayed them.
are you sure about that, she grabbed his hand and clutched it tight, you've got enough to overcome just to take down Hale without starting a religious revolution too." etc. etc.

And listeners! This book is so full questionable scenarios even after granting some poetic license. Leaving enemies alive behind you for no reason? Really twisted logic in the ship hijacking scenario all to make something come together but not in this book, not that I found at least and then a typical Jordan ending to the book. Bah.
