The end is nigh.
The Federation has stood for over 1,000 years, but its time may be at an end. Its emperor has gone mad; the economy lies in ruins; entire sectors are slipping out of its grasp; warlords, secessionists, and pirates are making their own bids for power; and a powerful rebel fleet stands ready to storm the gates of Earth. The end cannot be long delayed. As Roman Garibaldi, now leading an alliance of former naval officers and rebel outsiders, advances towards Earth, desperate to stop Emperor Marius before he throws the entire Federation into the fire, he has to face the possibility that it may already be too late to save the Federation from itself. And as both sides meet in a final confrontation, the price for saving even a tiny part of the once-proud Federation may be more than anyone is willing to pay.
The conclusion to The Decline and Fall of the Galactic Empire series.

Solid military sci-fi is what Christopher G. Nuttall is about and he delivers more of the same in this final installment of the series. As the Outsiders head towards a final showdown at Earth their fleet encounters resistance along the way that must be met efficiently if they are to have any chance of winning. That being said, ultimately this war will be decided by human loyalties over military tactics. Each side in this war has a weak foundation that it is built upon and neither side can afford to lose the wrong person at the wrong time. This one builds up to a satisfying conclusion that finally provides the payoff for some of the slower parts of the series.
Tim Gerard Reynolds does his usual excellent work but it should be noted that this one ends with a long political rant by the author. I found it off putting to end the series with a rant about the real world even if the author ties his fictional Federation back to ancient Rome and the current day US.
A fitting conclusion to the series

If, in the first 2 books, you missed the allegory to the Roman Empire, you really have to notice it here. But most of us don't know our ancient history all that well, so it is hoped that people WILL get the allegory to the current United States and Western World.
The chapter intros from galactic history books tell the basic facts of the events; the story tells the lives of the people who caused, and were affected by, these events.
This book is the sad tale of Admiral-turned-Emperor Drake and Admiral Roman Garibaldi, who is forced once again to mutiny against his superior. Drake has become a monster, and is incapable of uniting or bringing peace to the Federation. It is sad because he never wanted to be Emperor, and he had at least one sadistic, evil adviser. Hopefully, the next volume will be more positive, and Garibaldi will fare better than Drake did. It will be interesting to see if the new government formed is galactic or more local since so many of the planets and systems have declared independence. Will there be a Europe or a European Union? Italy's Garibaldi was one of a triumvirate of leaders, Cavour being the "brain of unification," Mazzini the "soul," and Garibaldi the "sword." Will Roman Garibaldi remain the sword? Will Tiffany be the brain or the soul? Will Elf be one of them, or someone else?
In any case, this book brings to life what may be dull and dry in that galactic history book written some 70 years after all these events. This is the tale of the men and women, their lives, their loves, and their losses. You can be more sympathetic and understanding towards Drake, Vincent, Tiffany, and now Garibaldi. Hindsight is 20/20, but these people can only do the best they can with the knowledge they have at the moment.
Following the Epilogue there is an Afterword which very succinctly compares events in present-day United States and Europe to what happened to the Roman Republic and Roman Empire. It is a wake-up call for us to learn from history.
great space opera as well as current commentary

The afterward in this book is a glaring indicator of how he might be inflating his own political and cultural insights. it might be high-time for the author to take the rhetoric down a notch and return to focusing on character struggles and less on societal issues.
Good, not great.
