Story
Fear ripples through human galactic society. Another ship travels from humanity's bleak future, targets a populated planet ... and lays it waste in a fiery apocalypse. Nothing survives, and the ship disappears. In the midst of the recovery, admiral Jack Mattis finds more questions than answers as he tracks down the enemy ship. But the most pressing question: why are these mutated humans from the future relentlessly attacking us? What do they want? And at what cost? And are these the same creatures created by the genetic research corporation exposed by Mattis on the planet Chrysalis?

Earth in 2064 is politically corrupt and in economic decline. The Long Depression has dragged on for 56 years, and the Bureau of Sustainable Research is hard at work making sure no new technologies disrupt the planned economy. Ten years ago, a band of malcontents, dreamers, and libertarian radicals bolted privately developed antigravity drives onto rusty seagoing cargo ships, loaded them to the gills with 20th-century tunnel-boring machines and earthmoving equipment, and set sail - for the moon.

The 200 years' (and counting) peace was a time of tranquility that hasn't been seen since...well, ever. Mankind in the Galactic Age had finally conquered war, so what was left for the military to do but drink and barbecue? That's the kind of military that Sergeant R. Wilson Rogers lived in before he left the fleet to become a smuggler. But it turns out that smuggling is hard. Like getting-arrested-for-dealing-with-pirates-and-forced-back-into-service kind of hard.

Summary
Earth is reeling. American alliances are shaking. And humanity's enemies rally. For six months after the failed alien attack, American Admiral Jack Mattis has been ordered to patrol the periphery, to stop more alien incursions - even though he knows the attackers weren't alien, but grotesque mutated super-humans from the future. A truth world governments publicly deny. And now an American scientist witnesses an experimental super-weapon gone awry at a top-secret genetic lab in deep space, while a rebel veterans group storms a Chinese embassy on an American world. Tensions flare, and the American-Chinese peace begins to fray. Admiral Mattis races to put out the fires, while trying to piece together the mystery of the future human invasion, knowing that failure means not only certain death for him, but for the entire human race. The clock is ticking.

ugh
great story, but dialog is worse than a 5th grade reader. Steve Jones may be a good reader, but his adolescent attempt at voice characterisation and geographic accents, didn't even hit paper. The only thing that kept my interest was the fact I had to get to the point of a different reader. Good luck Steve in finding a genre that fits with your talents and ability.

Good story line poorly told.
Not well written, lots of non scientific facts. The narrator is slow speaking, ran at 1.25x and it was an improvement. Flaming cockpits in space, heat transfer in a vacuum from an open fire. The military stereotypes are trite and not believable. I bought the group or would he ejected after the first book.

ok....
not as good as the 1st. the last 1/3 of the book i found enjoyable, the 1st 2/3 terrible, and chuck mattis down right insufferable 😣. i hope the 3rd book will be better, though i may never know, it was really tough staying with this book. also, the narrator has a voice of Nyquil- he will put you to sleep.
