Story
The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the Native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

In the twentieth 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.

The first interstellar war, a generation ago, left humanity enslaved. Now humans fight in the armies of their masters to save themselves from annihilation. At least, that's what the propaganda insists is true. What the layers of lies keep hidden is how badly the new war is going for the people of earth. Now it's Dylan Kane's turn to blast into the heavens and join the battle, but what his masters don't know is that by putting a weapon in his hands, they're giving him the key to unlocking his hopes of freedom.

Now that secret is in Nathan's hands, and he's about to make the most desperate evasive maneuver of his life.

this is a wicked series and just keeps building in excitement and suspense. also the narration is probably the best I've heard and incredibly captivating. I don't like rating things to high do too the water down effect but this book gets a 5 out of 5 with out question.

I wonder how long it will take Hollywood to buy the rights?
I took a chance as I've been able to as an Audible member trying the first in this series. I'm pleased to say each successive book has continued to get better and more in depth with the original as well as bringing in new characters.
By no means is this a complaint, just and observation...How many comic book, TV show, and other well known Sci-Fi series or movie from Trek to Wars to Farscape to Babylon 5 to Ghost in the Shell is this author going to make? If he is doing these things for those who might get the references, fine. I'm certainly getting all of them. However, as a fan of all listed...I wished he make these references in better ways to seem done on purpose instead of just not having a better expression or fresh idea how to say or so something. My biggest issue is with the over use of the word 'Fraggin'. The alternate use of formerly not allowed use of profanity was first circumvented by B5, then by Farscape, and most likely best known by BSG series by Ron Moore & David Eick. C'mon M.R. ---- couldn't you have thought up your own word, or just use some real world profanity? I'm pretty sure the profane word 'shit' has become such a regular everyday conversational word...known one would even notice if any of your characters said it. Some of the situations in your saga certainly could use the words 'OH SHIT?!' Exclaimed by the characters in appropriate circumstances instead just one swear word overused.
Whatever the case... I will continue to look forward to the next installment when it comes out! Keep up the good work, but PLEASE don't fall into the trap of predictability.

Half a book... Feel ripped off..
Would you listen to Kill the Queen! again? Why?
Maybe? But I am disappointed in how short the story was. M.R. Forbes keeps pumping out books at a rapid fire rate, but they seem like fractions of a whole book, split up to boost sales. If they are releasing books this short, they should be $5.
If you’ve listened to books by M. R. Forbes before, how does this one compare?
Good but too damn short. I felt like I was ripped off.
Have you listened to any of Jeff Hays’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Jeff is a consistently good narrator. Very clear with distinct voices.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Meh. Nothing memorable. Was a fun read, but I doubt I will re-read in the next 10+ years.
Any additional comments?
Please stop this quantity over quality thing... I hate feeling like I wasted a credit.
