Commander Joe Pikeman is on a mission he didn’t ask for…and wasn’t ordered on. Then again, he isn’t in the mood to sit back while Fairfax takes over the galaxy, either. Fairfax’s power stretches across the stars, and he’s calling in all his favors. From sparking a bot rebellion to engineering godlike monsters to crush his enemies, he seems determined to ruin Joe’s day. But he made one mistake: he screwed with Joe’s family. And as messed up as they are, that simply isn’t something Joe can allow.

Captain Keyes is loved by the public but hated by Command. He captains the UHS Providence, an aging supercarrier and the last human ship not dependent on dark tech - technology humanity has used to rule over the galaxy since barely defeating the Ixa in the First Galactic War.

An artificial object made of compressed stardust is barreling toward Earth. Is it an invasion ship? A doomsday weapon? Perhaps it’s the final response of Squanto, the Warlord of Rigel who James McGill has repeatedly humiliated.

Whoever hurled this rock at us isn’t answering our calls. Every weapon bounces off, and the people of Earth begin to go mad as they realize their destruction is only hours away.

It is indicated that a heading is optional! <br /><br />
The narrator is very good, but I cannot always follow the game play story. The plot was interesting enough to follow through the three books, but disappointedly was left unresolved without any feeling that there would be a favorable resolve.

Interesting ideas, compelling story
Some interesting ideas on the evolution of society, packaged up in a well told story with well thought out characters. I enjoyed the narrator's performance as well. Half of the reason for leaving the review is so that I follow up on the next book (loosing track of what is good and what's not in my library) ;-)

Lots of loose ends revealed, some left dangling
Book 3 moves the story forward quite a bit and along the way broadening Joe's personality and perspective. I found this subtle humanization and maturation of Joe the primary theme of the story. While the science elements were on the fantastical side, they were still an integral and entertaining part of the book.
I would have rated it full 5 by 5s except for a couple of huge loose ends that were intentionally left that way to possibly be explored later with a book 4?
