Millennia ago, the warmongering Nukari eradicated the ancient, space-exploring D'mar. Not even the greatest of their warriors, D'mok, gifted with super-human abilities, could stop the total annihilation of his people. Now, the fledgling human Coalition lies in the Nukari's sights. The first attack left a space station destroyed and one man, Rhysus Mencari, the sole survivor. But in that man awakened D'mok-like powers, sparking the revival of the only force that could oppose this powerful enemy. Still distraught over the loss of his family, Mencari teams up with Osuto, the last known D'mar alive. Can Mencari overcome the shadow of his past in time to master his new found abilities, gather a new team of D'mok warriors, and hunt down the Nukari before the next onslaught? This is the first book of The Invasion Trilogy, the beginning of the D'mok Revival series of novels by Michael Zummo.

A solid entry in the series...
Fans of the series will be more than happy with this entry. There is a lot of progression in the plot and characters, and some great foreshadowing in the climax.
My only issue is that while the narrator is very good performance-wise, there were a few lines that were doubled up on (and one flubbed line) and did take me out of the story when they happened.

The best in the series
Escaping the Vanguard: Colony Ship Vanguard, Book 6. What else can I say - the best of the series and a 5* listen,
Gripping and tense.
Chase Johnson's narration is very different from previous narrators in the series, and he portrays the fear and stress brilliantly.
Can't wait for to listen to the next in the series.
I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my own request and voluntarily leave this review.
