About this listen

A stand-alone novel set in the Ark Royal Universe!

The first major alien offensive against Earth has been blunted, winning humanity time to deploy new weapons and prepare new tactics as Earth's space navies prepare to take the offensive. But the enigmatic aliens have plans of their own - a full-scale attack on Earth that will either win the war in a single stroke or lose it.

The stakes have never been so high. The fate of humanity itself is in the balance. And, as battle rages across the solar system, as humanity finds its back pushed firmly against the wall, millions of people - military and civilian - struggle for survival, knowing that victory will come with a very high price....

And defeat will be the end of everything humanity holds dear.

I still like this but unlike the other books in the series there is so much jumping around it feels disjointed. I think there was a lot of world building that wanted to but got cut from other books for pacing reasons and they all got dropped in here to fill in the blanks but for me it fails to flow.

In particular the Sin City side story just feels one to many. We lack the real focal point character that comes with any other book in the series to really anchor the whole thing.

Closest thing we have is the Russian Captain Svetlana but she is stuck in stealth and watching her own back a situation that doesn't change throughout so the cuts just brake the tension of her situation robbing us of the submarine feel of her sections.

For me this might have worked better as two separate short books.
