Publisher's summary

Job Pressure

Colin MacIntyre's life as a NASA astronaut might not have been exciting, but at least it was orderly. Unfortunately, he's been tapped for greater things, and he isn't too sure he likes it. 

First he was kidnapped by an ancient, self-aware starship masquerading as Earth's moon. Then he was drafted as its captain to suppress a 5,000-year-old mutiny. And then he had to mobilize the planet against the attack of an eons-old ancient menace dedicated to the eradication of all intelligent life in the galaxy! 

It's hard to blame him for feeling a little stressed, but there's something Colin MacIntyre doesn't know about all the things he's had to do. 

They were the easy part.

Amazing!

An amazing ride that hits you right in the feels and leaves you desperate to find out what happens later in the story.

Better than book 1

Weber did a better job delivering an interesting and exciting story. I'm glad I decided to get book 2 despite my unhappiness with book 1. I was able to get into this story and became vested in some if the characters. I'll look for book 3. The narration was solid and well done, but nothing stood out with the performance.

And the Humans Battle On

Another excellent story by David Weber. Although, at times, I find the battles scenes endless, they seem to contribute to the overall storyline.

I do find the medieval conversations of Tani to be annoying and distracting.

One of the best books I have read in many years.

I have read this book many times it always gives up something new each read.

Really enjoying the series

Two books down and still enjoying the story. I'll give a final review over the whole series.

Great listen!

I love the story of Dahak, told in a way that you could believe it could actually be true. I read the books and have listened to the series at least 3 times through and it never gets old!

A sentient AI as a friend

Colin captains the ancient ship Dahak working with a sentient AI of the same name. The story starts with the two on a search for help from the Empirium that created Dahak to help Earth fend off the ancient menace. Colin and Dahak the AI, become friends.

As Colin has to make life and death situations, he obsesses about putting friends in danger. He comes close to rejecting the plan with the best odds for success because of that reluctance. A fleet commander has to be able to make those hard decisions.

Great story- deserved more than the 3 books it was given

Great story - moved faster than book 1. Read the series years ago, enjoyed having it read to me, wish it was made into a movie or tv series. Think so much more could be done in the created universe and wish David Weber would have continued here.

still Charming; the narration is getting better

This book is still just incredibly Charming while at the same time I bit juvenile. Like its predecessor this book is like a classic B movie that everyone loves despite is corniness.

It has the same narrator and he is getting better. There are still these really weird transitions between scenes. The narrator doesn't put gaps between scene changes so you don't realize that he's on their planet and he's talking about somebody else half-a-second after talking about spa day on planet Earth. lol
