Summary

The fleet fights on...deeper. Farther into the black unknown of space. There is no other path, no way for the lost to go save forward.

Admiral Terrance Compton's fleet is cut off from Earth, deep in the heart of the enemy First Imperium. A third of his people have died in the year his force has been fleeing from its enemies, but he is as determined as ever to find a new home for his people, a way to save his war-torn fleet. His people are running low on everything - food, ammunition, fuel - and the brutal enemy is in relentless pursuit, marshaling all its vast resources to track down and destroy the human refugees. Compton must find a way to replenish his dwindling stores while avoiding the massive enemy forces hunting his fleet from system to system.

Compton seeks an escape, a refuge for his exhausted spacers from the relentless pursuit of their enemies. But they are about to find far more than that as they discover the truth of the distant past and a glimpse of a new future that lies before them. What they learn will shake all they believe...and force them to reconsider who they are. And what victory would look like. The fight has just begun...and the stakes are even higher than any of them had imagined.

How many "still"s in one book?

I enjoyed the story, and the excellent narration. STILL, I was distracted by how many times the word "still" was used throughout the story. It was like listening to Jean-Luc Picard talking.

Still, dispite this distraction - even annoyance - I stuck to the book and enjoyed it.

Still, I get the impression that Jay doesn't use the services of an editor. If he doesn't, he should. At times the text was self-indulgent, repetitive and overblown.

Still, it's a compelling series and I've already bought the next installment.

"indeed"

The overuse of that word almost ruins an otherwise great story. It makes the narration and dialogue feel pompous are times.
