Story
Omnians, Earthers, and alliance members are fighting the Colony, the horde of sentient insectoids that threaten alliance space. The Colony has had centuries to expand through the network of domes built by the Messinants, an ancient race. The domes’ Q-gates allow the insectoids to invade planets through their inventive use of rings, which extends the power of the domes. It’s Omnian superior technology that gives a temporary advantage to the peaceful alliance members who lead the fight to retake their planets.

Story
Artifice, the great enemy, has been defeated. The sister SADEs, Omnian sentient digital entities, are free from their boxes. Most humans are unaware that the sisters have duplicated themselves many more times than suspected. They now constitute a sizable, powerful group, calling themselves the Sisterhood. The elimination of Artifice’s rule should be a time of relief and recovery for Alex Racine’s Omnian fleet and for the Toralians, whose home world was Artifice’s lair. Instead, it’s a chaotic period.

The Veklocks require the Pyreans to explore the extent of the Colony's usurpation of domes. The Colony is composed of two insectoid species, the grays and the reds. They're aggressive three- and five-meter long insectoids with venomous pincers that live for the expansion of their race. The Pyreans already lost one member of their team on their first exploration and are hesitant to meet the Colony again, unless they're better prepared.

Pyre's humans suffer multiple cultural shocks. They discovered the Messinants dome, an ancient construction that houses a quantum-coupled gate. More shocking, they find that sentient alien races utilize a network of these domes to journey between their far distant worlds in pursuit of alliance matters. If humans wish to join this elite collection of sentients, they must contribute significantly in trade, tech, or something of equal value.

The Omnian expeditionary fleet sails for the faraway place they call "the wall". The worlds of humankind have consolidated their resources to create a powerful armada to confront the alien federation. During the Omnians' previous encounter with an alien fleet at the wall, the Nua'll comm sphere spoke to them in multiple languages. When the messages were deciphered by SADEs, the humans' digital friends, the Omnians realized two things. One, they would face a vast empire composed of hundreds of races, and, two, the Nua'll were not the leaders of the federacy. They had spoken of masters.

Pyre is a volatile planet. Its surface belches heat and noxious gases, forcing downsiders to inhabit domes. But Pyre's instability isn't limited to its geology. The colonists, who were marooned in the system hundreds of years ago, have endured a tumultuous history. Exploring Triton, Pyre's third moon, spacers inadvertently activate an alien dome. Nearly a year later, the Belle's bridge crew, who monitors the alien site, is alarmed, when they witness a bright blue light shoot from the dome's platform and merge with the shield.

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.

Alex Racine, who led an elite group of humans and SADEs (self-ware digital entities), left the newly discovered planet of Celus-5 under difficult circumstances. Few of the Harakens with Alex thought there was little he could do to bring peace to the embroiled planet. From their viewpoint, the demands of the Celus-5 Swei Swee, the six-legged aliens of the ocean, and the Dischnya, the warring, doglike, intelligent creatures who inhabited the dry plains, were too convoluted to solve.

Publisher's Summary
Dangerous forces are at work across galactic space that the Omnians are attempting to stabilize, but their resources are severely strained.
The SADEs, self-aware digital entities, express to Alex Racine and Renée de Guirnon their desire to know the method of their creation. Alex and Renée, the Omnian co-leaders, want to obtain the knowledge for the SADEs, who are humans’ closest allies.
Alex, Renée, and Julien, a friend and a SADE, board the giant city-ship, Freedom, which sails for Méridien, the home world of the far-reaching human colonies of the Confederation. They have a long overdue appointment with House Brixton, the Méridien group responsible for creating the SADEs. However, Shannon Brixton, the House Leader, is expected to zealously guard the secrets of the SADEs’ origination.
While at Méridien, Alex receives an urgent message requesting help in alliance space, where a small group of Omnians and Earthers battle the Colony, a race of insectoids, which is subsuming planets.
To complicate matters, a rogue battleship fleet left the federacy, bypassed the human colonies, and is searching among the alliance worlds for a habitable planet. If an unoccupied world isn’t found, they’re prepared to evict the inhabitants by force.
In the wake of Alex’s exit from Omnia for alliance space, Hector is left in charge of the Omnians’ second fleet. The SADE temporarily carries the mantle of protector of human colonies and allied worlds.
For the Omnians, life and its challenges couldn’t be more precarious, or could they?

HORRIBLE NARRATION!
I like this series and was looking forward to this new book. I'm bummed now because apparently they have a new narrator who ruined the story. It starts with the "new" way of pronouncing DASATA (Alex Dischnya name) and continues with mispronounced names to the point of making me scream.

Terrible narration. Good story.
After the first chapter I was in shock. I couldn’t tell the difference between the characters by the narrators voice. I can understand that they might be different with a new narrator but it’s so monotone to make it unbearable.
Zee’s voice sounds like the admirals and Rene and Alex for example. The story sounds so cold and not exciting anymore.
I’m returning this book. Imagining the characters voices in my head while reading it is far better now. Such a shame as this was my favorite series of audio books.

Wonderful story, Narrator didn't do her homework.
I love the Silver Ship series. Until SADES the series had a great narrator in Grover Gardner. Apparently the new narrator did not listen to any of his narrations. That would be the only explanation for the numerous, irritating mutilations of the key character's and place names. Even the one named after the famous philosopher Desecrate she pronounces 'Dez cart ezes'! Did she not listen to the books at all? Her narrating is very good. Her voice-acting, (the difference between audiobooks and computer read text) is non-existent. So bad it is difficult to determine if Alex or Rene is the one talking. Zee's Germanic accent and Miranda's sultry feme-fatalle gone forever? Very sad. Still love the series, but will have to switch to reading it.

spoiler alert
extremely disappointed in the narrator. she put in no effort in learning the pronunciation of words from the previous narrator. she tried to use different voices are characters that could not pull it off
as for the story they have nanites that can dissolve Starship but yet they can't use something to sterilize The Colony the majority of this book could have been cut and paste from previous book this book and the previous book should not have been placed in the silver ships series it only added more characters and distracts from the main character of Alex Ricci
in conclusion they should pull this book from Audible until Cleveland can redo it right

It is OK but needs Grover Gardner
Susanna Burney, is very talented But Grover Gardner is the silver ship. As a long time listener I am at a loss and feel slighted not hearing Grover. The story is missing so much, Alex dose not feel the same and he is so important to the story line.

A Fun Read
I have to admit that the Silver Ship series is my favorite sci-fi series. I cannot wait for a new book to be released.
The book is well written and I am always amazed at Jucha’ s imagination. In this book we have three major story lines intertwining. Alex and the SADEs are in negotiations with the House of Brixton for the SADEs to be able to create themselves. Alex and fleet are searching for a fleet that escaped a world that had been controlled by Artifice; they are hunting for a world to move to. Jeff Cinders and the veterans, along with the SADEs, are fighting the Insect Colony trying to gain control of the Gate Domes. This only barely highlights what is going on it this story. Overall, an exciting read.
Susanna Burney does a okay job narrating the book. Burney is an actress and voice-over artist as well as an audiobook narrator. Every book in this series until this book was narrated by Grover Gardner. Please bring him back.
