After endless years of fighting in a galaxy-wide war, the most decorated super-soldier of the Old Federation was granted leave, sliding into a stasis tube aboard a sleeper ship. The ship never reached its port, and the soldier woke up a thousand years later on an operating table. The Old Federation was gone, most planets hurled back into the Stone Age. A devastated Earth used spies instead of spaceships to compete against the tougher, richer worlds.

Story
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Story
They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice. A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them. The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we're less primitive. Today, we're a target.

Thousands of crew are reported dead, including the ship’s captain. Reluctantly, the young XO, Galvin Quintos, will be taking command of the fleet's crippled dreadnaught, the USS Hamilton, while doing his best to bring fleet survivors back to Earth. To make matters worse, there’s a murderer running loose on board the ship, critically low fuel levels, and the Grish are back, in fast pursuit and ready to finish what they’d started. Only by sheer luck - and a good measure of cagey smarts - will Quintos be able to rise to the challenge.

Aliens exist...and, as it turns out, most of them aren’t that friendly. Jacob Brown wasn’t even born yet the first time they attacked Earth. He was only 14 the second time it happened. When Earth finally came together and fielded its first spaceborne military, Jacob didn’t hesitate to volunteer. Serving aboard a mighty starship, he’d be able to defend his planet - and his family - when, inevitably, they came again.

Publisher's Summary
Billions died before humanity clawed its way up from the brink of extinction, defeating the aliens that treated us like mere beasts. After years of agonizing toil and hardship, we have finally built a first-rate fleet, forcing our hostile neighbors to accept our freedom.
But in the center of the galaxy, a bitterly vengeful woman discovers the secret of the Plutonians. She is going to awaken them so the extraterrestrials can attack us with the deadliest ships in existence. If the Plutonians destroy our fleet, the others will surely swarm in like locusts and kill us.
Earth's fleet is stronger than ever. But the Plutonian ships and tactics will be far superior to ours. Against this new threat, we desperately need help.
Creed has a stealth ship and forbidden tech he stole from the galactic core. He's on a lonely mission to buy us a fighting chance. Everything we have worked so hard to achieve lies in the balance.

An ending that is stupid beyond measure...
This is science fiction. It's, however, light on the science. This is military science fiction that is light on "the military." This is a science based fantasy series that has some decent "fantasy." That stated, let's be honest. The author must have played Master of Orion 2, Battle at Antares because this novel, heck the whole series is based on it. What sets this story apart are the pseudo-religious elements. Satan? Demons? Devils? Abaddon, Jelk-gargoyles, ancients forerunner artifacts (touch of Halo), heck he has an A.I. stand-in for GOD in a "fortress of light." It's not suppose to be reality but it IS suppose to be authentic. Here's what I mean. The hero goes through some impossible situation and realizes he can't win, so what does he do? He makes a hard difficult choice, he leaves his girlfriend. He leaves his friend to die. He surrenders and takes the punishment. He doesn't "sprinkle fairy dust" and magically everything's better. No. That doesn't happen. Except at the end of this novel. Hocus Pocus, flim-flam, a mind machine, some tea and toast and Satan's girlfriend is back to being Sandra Dee. Oh, there's tears, there's hugs, there's total bovine scat. It had me right up until this junk. How should it have ended? Jennifer should have KILLED Creed, and the trauma/ecstasy of killing the man she love/hated (love not the opposite of hate, but rather indifference) returned her to sanity as a cathartic release; releasing Abaddon's mental hold on her while simultaneously breaking her heart. Now, something along those lines would have been a powerful ending. Creed had to sacrifice himself (the ultimate act of love) to save her. Instead what we got was something along the lines of "fake" love. She's was brain washed into forgiveness, re-programmed. That's not love. Who wants to love a doll or a robot with no free will? Not me. Oh, there'll be sequel, Creed & Jennifer sitting in a tree, another Abaddon clone and a prissy forerunner artifact to hunt down but do I care? Oh, I was entertained so I'll probably read it but I can suspend a lot of disbelief except with real human interactions because we know how those work, those don't need ex-deus warp drive.

weakest of the series
I really enjoyed the rest of the extinction war series, but this one just isn't as good. The plot is overly convulded and messy. Heppner' s need to always fit in his political opinions doesn't help either. That said Rummel once again does a great job of voicing Creed and the rest of the characters.

That's it??
The narrator was awesome. I have listened to whole series. It seems to me the author ran out of things to write and filled in a bunch of gaps to make the book longer. But..... I had to hear it as it ended the series. I was a little disappointed with the anti-climatic ending but otherwise worth the listen.
