Summary

The Black Fleet Saga continues....

A human planet has been invaded. The enigmatic Darshik have landed troops on a frontier world and have begun subduing major cities even as their blockade repels all attempts by the fledgling United Terran Federation to mount a counteroffensive.

The Federation's military command is desperate, and with their fleet still in tatters, they make a last-ditch effort to free the planet: They pull Captain Jackson Wolfe out of retirement and put him in command of a ship they hope can get past the defending armada and provide support to the beleaguered Marines and civilians fighting on the surface of the contested world.

There is no reasoning with this enemy. If the Terran Federation wants their planet back, they will have to pay the price.

Iron & Blood is the second book of the Expansion Wars Trilogy and the fifth book of the Black Fleet Saga.

Have enjoyed both books in the series so far. Easy listening. Simple black and white characters.

Excellent!

Thrilling from start to finish, loved every second of it. It starts off with more details then seemed necessary, only to become relevant later on. I love this kind of world building, which makes characters feel like actual people instead of just words.

Another stunning chapter

I’m loving the books from this universe. Characters are great, storyline is awesome and the narration is spot on. I have one book left and I’m going to be gutted when it’s all over.

More of the same brilliance

A great continuation of the black fleet saga, five books in and it's not getting old, a well established cast and new faces you really start to care about. One more book in this series then I'll definitely start on the omega set :)

fantastic

A great second book to the expansion trilogy (The fifth book in the dual-trilogy if you follow on from the Black Fleet Trilogy). Top marks again for Joshua Dalzelle's great story line and Mark Boyett's narration skills. The perfect combination to bring you the exploits of Captain Wolfe. ten out of ten. Looking forward to the next one.
