New Frontiers

The Expansion Wars Trilogy, Book 1

By: Joshua Dalzelle

Narrated by: Mark Boyett

The Phage War had been a devastating conflict for the Terran Confederacy. Even with the destruction of their terrifying, implacable foe, humanity is still reeling. Political alliances are crumbling, and their mighty fleet is in tatters. There is nothing to celebrate, even after such a complete victory.

They soon learn that there are other stellar neighbors - and they've been watching the conflict with great interest. One species comes with an offer of friendship and alliance, but humanity is weary and distrustful, their only interactions with aliens having resulted in the near eradication of their kind.

Before the ashes of war have been fully swept away, Captain Celesta Wright is dispatched to the Frontier with a small taskforce to investigate a mysterious signal while the Confederacy struggles to hold itself together. A partnership with this new species could help accelerate the recovery effort, but is the offer too good to be true? Can humanity risk another fight with an advanced alien species right on the heels of the bloodiest war that had ever been waged?

New Frontiers is the first book of the Expansion Wars Trilogy, an all-new adventure in the Black Fleet universe.

Reasonable follow on to Black Fleet

While this is a stand alone series it does follow the same characters as Black Fleet. Very good narration and reasonable storyline. Will need to reserve some comments to see where next book in series goes. This first book did not cover a lot of ground.

Best thing going!

This series is the best thing going in Sci-Fi. Dalzelle writes space battles like Clancy did Naval warfare. I enjoy Boyett's performance for EVERY character. Not something you can say about most. Dare I say I enjoy him more than RC Bray? Great characters, great writing and great narration. I'll be so sad when the series ends, please keep more coming.

Must read/listen for original trilogy fans!

What a great continuation of the original trilogy. The writing is second to none and Mark performs an Oscar award winning voice narration!

well done

Worth the read. Engaging well develop Ed characters and plot. Audible extremely well narrated

Love

Mark Boyett is my favorite narrator, by far. I highly recommend if you love space operas.
