Summary

"Welcome to the Pelaran Alliance...."

With those simple words, the Guardian spacecraft openly revealed itself to humanity, heralding a new chapter in its 500-year-long mission to cultivate our world. Earth's population must now make its first planet-wide decision - join the most powerful alliance in our galaxy or chart our own course, deciding for ourselves which civilizations are worthy of our trust. Will we be the first world to decline the Pelarans' invitation, or does their offer come with an implied threat?

Aboard Terran Fleet Command's flagship, TFS Navajo, Admiral Kevin Patterson assembles his formidable but untested forces in hopes of defending the Earth. Knowing that an attack is imminent, he must risk everything in hopes of finding his enemy and taking the initiative.

Returning from TFC's first battle, Captain Tom Prescott learns that his frigate, TFS Ingenuity, is more heavily damaged than expected. Now he must race against time to prepare a new ship, then execute a daring mission to save Earth's last and best hope of avoiding full-scale interstellar war.

No problem with the storyline or plot, but the way this author portrays the characters and the way they speak, they’re like androids!
No slang, no shortening of words, very little humour.. just emotionless, plain English.
Not very engaging to listen to

Are these humans or Vulcans?

A more technically minded sci fi approach.

Sets the situation up well, let’s mutually capable people do their thing and allows for the use of supportive AI systems without replacing the initiative of the crews.

This setting is a popular one (the rise of and first contact by humanity) but this is IMO one of the better approaches to account for humanities survival to start exploring beyond the solar system past the usual “we ignore non FTL cultures” hand waving (plus a good driver of the inevitable conflicts of interest that follow).

Spins a good yarn, good performance

Haha! That "buuuut" is a great cliff hanger isnt it? But in this case it just means that I cant hang around any longer to sensibly review this book (?) because even though I suspect that book 5 hasnt been written and/or release yet I've got to dash off and look see as the cliff hanger in this, book 4 has left me gagging for more. So?... Bye!!!

Excellent buuuut.

the first book was a slow start and the second book progress the story but each cuts off far to soon. I feel like the books are written with a commercial slant of making money over giving a story with a defined end. they are a good listen but they should be longer with more content given... however the first to being free is a boon...I would buy the next instalments if they where around 18-22 hours.

it's getting better
