Sol Strike

Battlegroup Z, Book 3

By: Daniel Gibbs

Narrated by: J.S. Arquin

The counter-attack begins now.

Captain Justin Spencer has one goal: to execute battle missions with excellence and bring everyone in his galactic fighter squadron safely home. Yet for too long, the Coalition Defense Force has been engaged in a defensive fight with the League of Sol on the Terran Coalition’s home turf.

No longer.

The CSV Zvika Greengold is once again called upon for a highly clandestine assignment–take the war deep into enemy territory and attack the very heart of the League. It’s been generations since anyone has seen Earth after the communist League chased humanity’s ancestors from their former home, and Justin is eager to lead the squadron of stealth recon fighters for some payback.

Regardless of the danger that awaits them.

Facing the likelihood of no return, thoughts turn to matters of the heart–and soul. Family reunions are all-too brief. The months-long trip toward Earth gives Justin time to contemplate what waits for them in the great beyond. But when the carrier becomes a floundering fortress, it falls to Justin and the brave men and women of the CSV Zvika Greengold to fight their way to freedom as their ancestors once did–by any means necessary.

Or spend the rest of their lives in the hands of a merciless enemy.

Good Book, But

This was a good third book to this book series. I enjoyed the pacing, the characters and the story. The narration though, while not bad, it comes off a bit like fingers on a chalk board. There are just some narrator and stories that don't fit well together. This is one of those. I have listened through three books now and I have concluded that the best way to enjoy this narration is to speed up the playback speed to 1.3 x the speed. This dramatically improves the narration. The only other thing I found annoying about the book was the excessive religious overtone. I am a person of faith, I get the importance of having God and Jesus in our lives, but darn, limits Mr. Gibbs, limits. I treat my faith as many other do, a private thing. Less would be more Mr. Gibbs. I look forward to listening too book four at 1.3x the speed.
