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....

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
On a remote planet, an autonomous scout makes first contact with extraterrestrial life. Without warning, the alien attacks, ripping the drone to shreds. Humanity is at war. Back on Earth, Sam is just another jobless graduate, drifting aimlessly while she lives off of the government's monthly stipend. When war breaks out, she sees a way out of her life of boredom: she signs up to be a "deathstreamer", a new breed of mercenary chasing fame and fortune by streaming combat footage from the front lines. If she can go viral, wealth and celebrity are within Sam's grasp. But she'll need to survive long enough to enjoy it.

The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements, where you’re restricted to 2,000 calories of badly flavored soy every day. You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world, or you can join the service. With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth.

They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice. A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them. The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we're less primitive. Today, we're a target.

The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the Native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Political agenda?
I enjoyed the other books in the series so much that I was looking forward to this one. Unfortunately it sure seemed like there was a liberal agenda that the author really was pushing through this book. The storyline on this book was definitely not as good as the others and developed way too fast. I hope the next one is better because it's starting to look like the good guys i.e. the police finally have someone on their side that can compete with the bad guys...

Loved it
I love the diversity and depth of the characters. The intro of Six was my favorite storyline, followed by the ex-Guild members. I love how it logically showed how people that are allies can be on opposite sides. Only criticism would be the ending seemed a bit rushed, and villain actions seemed lucky and stupid at the end.

Always in the wrong place
Rath's Rebellion is the 2nd installment of Piers Platt's 2nd trilogy of the Janus Group. Following his trial, Rath is broken out of prison by the mystery cabal encounter previously. Rath now finds himself involved in a revolutionary group, equipped with the super weapon Paison has previously stolen for them with an intent of bringing down the Federacy. At the same, Dazi is moving in on busting the Neopuritans, while the Neopuritan Senator Fos is busy inserting into himself deeper into Senate double dealing. Beauceron and his new girlfriend are slowing sleuthing their way into the action from a different direction.
The sci-fi elements are all in line with previous volumes. The plot is a bit more complex with more independent players with varying objectives (compared to the 1st trilogy); the characters are largely one dimensional, crudely rendered, and somewhat transparent. Rath continues in his quest for absolution, but can also be annoying gullible.
The narration continues to be well done with an excellent range and distinction of voices for both genders. The pace makes for an easy, fast listen.

Don't bother!!!!!#
I have enjoyed this series however this book was liberal propaganda with a very little thought and it was applied to some characters who are supposed to be intelligent. Poor story, pathetic economics this book was claptrap ridiculousness.
