Story
Trevor Gray has been stripped of his command of the starship America and is unsure what to do with his life. Having dedicated so much of himself to the service, he knew following the super-AI Konstantin’s advice could have severe consequences. He just never thought he would be out of the fight. Because that’s what Earth is in: a fight against a sinister alien force that is so technologically advanced, there seems little hope. That’s why he had disobeyed his orders in the first place: to figure out a way to stop them. But now he’s beached - just what Konstantin wanted.

Story
2425. The civil war between the United States of North America and the Pan-European Confederation is over. But before a new era of peace on Earth can begin, humankind must martial its interstellar forces as one fleet to engage in a war against an alien entity in Omega Centauri. Without provocation, it destroyed a Confederation science facility inhabited by 12,000 people, and it must be neutralized before it sets its sights on Earth.

Story
In the stillness of space, several asteroids disappear in the 82 G. Eridani System. Time passes and space wavers, and the missing asteroids reappear. 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.

Tyler Barron and his associates are divided, split between two courses of action. Barron doesn't believe in the desperate plan to eradicate the Highborn, the strange virus that has been created for that purpose, but may or may not be the exact formula used by the empire 300 years ago. There are too many possible problems...a small difference in the virus, a cure created by the enemy...for him to accept the plan. Barron commits instead to a traditional defense, even though he knows the chances of ultimate success are almost zero.

Humanity had appeared to fend off the Sh'daar assault once and for all, though they never learned why the alien empire was driven to halt Earth's advancement toward technological Singularity. But in this war of worlds, victory is always elusive. And now a new battle begins. After 20 years of peace, not one but two fragile truces are unraveling. Alexander Koenig, the former Navy commander whose heroics forced the Sh'daar into submission, has won a second term as President of the United States of North America. But pursuing his mandate - sovereignty from the centuries-old Earth Confederation - becomes a risky proposition....

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?

Center of Gravity is the second book in the explosive Star Carrier series by Ian Douglas - and a breathtaking new high in military SF, the strongest of the science fiction subgenres. Battlestar Galactica fans will adore this saga of ultimate war in deep space, as humankind risks its very future, battling a vast alien evil empire in order to achieve transcendence and become a major power in the universe.
By: Ian Douglas
Publisher's Summary
The last installment in the Star Carrier series, where first contact, space opera, and military adventure combine, from New York Times best-selling author Ian Douglas!
Will this be the end?
Or a new beginning...
Having battled aliens to prove humanity’s worth as a star-faring species, Admiral Trevor Gray has a new mission: follow the directives of the super-AI Konstantin and lead the star carrier America on a mission through time and space to determine if humanity can truly transcend into Singularity...and avoid the pitfalls that have plagued so many of the aliens Earth has encountered since it gained faster-than-light travel.
But there are those out there who don’t want an answer, who wish to maintain their own power with the status quo. Beyond the dangers of star travel, Gray must contend with politicians looking to end the influence of artificial intelligence on human decisions, a secret fleet out to destroy him, hostile aliens, and the vast, uncharted space full of clues but short on answers.
A species must evolve to survive into the future. But that species must have a vision of the future. Gray hopes to find that vision for humanity...800,000 years in the past.

Excellent Scifi
The entire Star Carrier series has been very enjoyable, creative & insightful. I love the depth of diversity that go into the characters, tech and alien species. I think this would make a great scifi tv series, it is unique and interesting in many ways.

Disappointing end
I was disappointed with this book. I am a loyal fan of the series. I have always enjoyed them minus the repetitive retelling of certain things such as grays background, or they obnoxious abbreviation and slang terms of certain words (eg “schedy” instead of schedule).
However for some reason the author decided to get very political in this novel. Perhaps it was his inclination all along and he figured since this was the last book he’s already got everyone’s money. The new president and his cohorts behaved like a bunch of nutty leftists. Weird to do for future military warfare and tech novels. But for whatever reason the author decided to make constant suggestions in the novel that the new preside and his cohorts were actually Donald Trump or similar politicians. And then other character such as Koenig and Admiral Gray, who are military leaders and obvious conservatives, suddenly turned into leftists. It made no sense and was very offputting and distracting to the storyline and the spirit of the prior eight novels.

I'll miss this series.
Ian Douglas is one of my top tier Authors, right up with B.V. Larson and Martha Wells. Douglas can imagine a future where humans have actually evolved and not just the technology, among the best--even his aliens challenge one's imagination of what an alien is or should be.. If this really is the last in the series I will miss not having the next book to look out for. I've already reread the series up to whatever the new addition was at least three times over the last five years or so, and I'll probably read it again in a year or two. Nick Sullivan is a seamless narrator insofar as you really don't notice his presence because of a mispronunciation or an inappropriate voice--its very easy to get lost in the story.

Wish I could flag narrators to AVOID in future
I'd forgotten how silly some aspects of the books in this series are, and how the social constructs read like the fantasies of a 15 year old boy. The interesting bits of harder science and speculation about the future make it readable but the characters and social aspects are juvenile. The way women in this book are portrayed would make Heinlein proud. That's not a compliment.
As to narration -- This may be just personal taste, but I cannot stand Nick Sullivan's reading. I find it like listening to a 4th grade teacher desperate to get the attention of the class by being overly dramatic in every sentence. I guess I'm spoiled by RC Bray, who could read the phone book and still hold my attention.

great end to a great series!
Ian Douglas has a knack for building characters and using scientific Concepts throughout his books. It is never dull and he introduces you to characters you grow to enjoy love, and new characters that show you the price of conflict. this ending is consistent with the entire series and I am happy and yet sad to read it, much like but ends in the book. I think the author author for a good use of my time.
