Publisher's summary

Humanity has won a great victory, shattering the alien fleet that would have destroyed the Solar Union and exterminated the human race. But the war is not yet over. The Tokomak still have a huge fleet and an immense industrial base, large enough to crush the human race once and for all if they have time to bring it into action. The war may still be lost.

There is only one way to win. Admiral Hoshiko Stuart and her fleet must take the war deep into enemy territory, to the very heart of the Tokomak Empire. But with the Tokomak gathering their forces and rallying their allies for one final battle, the outcome still hangs in the balance...and whoever wins will dominate the galaxy for thousands of years to come.

it was great

I liked the storyline. The princess character was a little hard to understand. But other than that it was great

A great ending to an epic story

This series of books is worth the listen. Start to finish well worth the time. Voice narration was top notch also. Two thumbs up for me.

Great series

I love this series great book with a great ending and just enough to see what comes next.

Excellent

I have loved this series! I hope this is not the end of the series. I want to know what happens to the Solar Union! I love to join the Solar Union. Imagine living in an Asteroid!

The following is a scene suggestion for the author.
I only wish more had been done with the alien race that was allowed to settle on Mars. Imagine some of them in the marines on a night out drinking. I can see 1 human riding one of them that was also drunk while charging another drunken pair like jousting!

Interesting progression

enjoyable. somewhat thought provoking. It will be interesting to see what direction things take for the next book.

The end or will be more?

If this was the conclusion it was a good end, it would be nice to the series pick up in a few hundred years with the same characters showing how their perspective has changed.

excellent

as usual, another excellent book from nuttal. no doubt the best military science fiction author.

Awesome

Just as good as the first five, if not better, The battles are great. There's even a picard maneuver At one point.

Not Weber

First the problems: Lacks some of the suspense of previous books and character development is rather rote. The libertarian philosophy (much of which I agree with) is ladled on very heavily, to the detriment of the story's flow. The story seems to lack a real understanding of how big, both in area and in number of stars, the Tokamak empire (as previously described) actually is. The military strategy is a bit naïve. And the lead antagonist is a rather cartoonish villain, though at least she has actual responses to the clever ideas of the pesky humans.

But the battles are described well, the other non-human races are believable, and we get to the end of a story line.

This series isn't bad, but if you're interested in this kind of galaxy-spanning space opera, Weber is a better choice.
