Story4.5 out of 5 stars 98
The Trellixian Empire was constantly expanding, seeking new worlds for its ever-increasing population. If worlds were discovered with existing sentient populations, they were cleansed to make room for colonization. Hundreds of budding civilizations had been eliminated by Trellixian battle fleets. On Earth, years in the past, a scout ship fleeing from the Trellixians crashed. Scientists investigating the wreckage discovered what the Trellixians had done to the world the scout ship escaped from. They also discovered it was only a matter of time before the Trellixians reached Earth.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 8,855
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....

Publisher's Summary
From USA Today best-selling author Raymond L. Weil comes the second book in the Star Cross series.
Over 14 months have passed since Fleet Admiral Kurt Vickers drove the Profiteers from Earth. Eighty million people died while the planet was being ransacked and its wealth stolen. Now a new and deadlier threat comes from intergalactic space. An enemy so alien and so ruthless the entire galaxy is at risk.
The Destroyers of Worlds look upon all intelligent life as a source of food. Their ships are nearly indestructible, and they have come to the galaxy to begin their harvest. Even the Protector Worlds are powerless to stop the growing list of planets that are falling victim to the hungry Vorn.
At Newton, Admiral Kurt Vickers learns of this new enemy as well as a growing threat from the Profiteers. High Profiteer Creed is gathering a powerful fleet in the Gothan Empire. He plans to take everything of value from Earth and then turn the planet into a nuclear wasteland. Admiral Vickers is once more forced to return to Kubitz. A black market world considered to be the worst hellhole in the galaxy. Only on Kubitz can Admiral Vickers find what he needs to save Earth.

Engaging story good enough to continue the series.
This was good for a cross country road trip. The story telling is a bit simplistic, reminding me of sci-fi books I read in Junior High. Personally I recommend reading the book rather than listening to it as the NARRATIVE was very HEAVILY sprinkled with highly ACCENTED words. The oddly placed - - pauses was also a bit of a distraction. Despite that I'm moving on with the next book because my wife likes it and I'm curious as to how it all turns out.

painful to listen to
This author seems to struggle with making characters believable. The dialogue is so unrealistic that it's hard to listen to. The narrator helps to make it a complete waste of money. please listen to the sample prior to purchasing. Save yourself the buyers guilt.

Clean, simple and predictable space fiction
This is a good clean story I would recommend for anyone concern about clean content. It is a little to predictable moving along common sci-fi themes. My hope is the remainder of the series is more creative. Over goid listen and easy to follow but missing the nerdy science, tech and engineering aspects I enjoy in modern sci-fi.

Too Much Use of "As Well As"
Great story but uses "As Well As" so many times that you actually notice and once you do, you find that this book is littered with them.
This story is a good one but could use some more vocabulary thrown in.
The reader did a very good job as always.
