Story4.5 out of 5 stars 104
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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 130
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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 34
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.

Nothing brings change like war. A surge of new tech. New weapons. New tactics. To lead a crew to victory, a captain must understand change. He must understand command and that it is a test. A test most men fail. He must be brilliant. Resourceful. Every second. Of every day. And at night during scarce moments of rest, he must sleep the sleep of the righteous. The time has come for Commander Tad Thatcher to look in the mirror. The time has come to ask himself...am I that kind of man?

They’re traveling at near-light-speed for the single populated planet. Nuclear-tipped missiles from the lone battleship fail to stop the asteroids, which crash against the planet, turning it into rubble and killing the 650 million inhabitants. Someone has found and now tested the perfect planet killer, an ancient device that turns asteroids and icy planetesimals into world-destroying projectiles.

Publisher's Summary
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?
He’s outnumbered, outgunned, and in way over his head.
But what else is new?

Really great new series
This is my first Rick Partlow series and it is really good. For me, a good measure for how a writer develops characters is realized when one is killed off. As weird as it may sound I find if I am genuinely upset or pissed off at the loss of a fictional individual, even secondary characters, I know the author has truly hooked me. Partlow does a great job in this and the previous two books to build a believable universe and dynamic characters. I am interested to see where he takes the series.
Scott Aiello is a better than average narrator and does a good job with the series. I think sometime his accents or chose of voices can be a bit cartoon like, but he understands the pacing and knows how to bring the authors story to life. I really wish he would have chosen a different voice/accent for Julie Nieves though, the accent he uses for her is a bit silly considering she is supposed to be super BA. Although, this a minor complaint and it does not distract from the overall story.
