About this listen

The fight to free the Earth from alien domination began in Live Free or Die, and continued in Citadel. Now Tyler Vernon and his troops aboard the gigantic battle station Troy face a desperate battle with the forces of galactic tyranny. And the very survival of the Earth and its people is not all that is at stake. The galaxy itself must choose to live free or die - and if the tyrants win this battle, darkness will fall across the galaxy for millennia to come.

Critic reviews

“[Ringo’s SF is] peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse.” ( Library Journal)
"Fans of strong military SF will appreciate Ringo’s lively narrative and flavorful characters.” ( Publishers Weekly)
“Ringo provides a textbook example of how a novel in the military SF subgenre should be written.... Crackerjack storytelling.” ( Starlog)

I have just listened to all three books one after another and I have a good series only issue I've got is the last book is a little bit slow in the middle and tends to go on too much about politics of South America, a little bit annoying that one of the characters does something that is not explained anywhere through the book overall good book with some plot issues

Gets a little bit slow in the middle but overall good

Overall another great story. Without giving anything away, sometimes seemed to focus on mundane things which, while mostly interesting, where still mundane. Arguably it had a little to do with the character development, but still. Only reason why I'm not giving a 5.

Mixture of mundane and great

After the first two books, this one was a let down. Kinda feels derogatory towards south Americans. Doesnt actually pertain a feeling of buildup for a massive finalle a trilogy deserves - and in the end doesnt deliver one. Just feels loke the book kinda fizzles out. Narration is still well done. Shame the trilogy went in order of amazing -> very good -> somehat average.

Disappointing
