The UFS Phoenix is finally homeward bound. On the way is Tuki Station, in barabo space, hit just now by a force of sard ships, working in concert with a larger invasion from alo space. An alo and deepynine fleet has attacked, and humanity's forces are in turmoil despite all of Phoenix's efforts over the past three years to prepare them.

Nia leads the assault, Styx's old AI queen nemesis from the Drysine/Deepynine War, the greatest armed conflict in Spiral history, 25,000 years ago. But what does Nia seek? Is she after the drysine data-core, which Phoenix recovered nearly three years ago? Does she pursue members of the Debogande family visiting Hoffen Station, as a way to get at Phoenix's captain personally? And if she's making a full-scale attempt to remove humanity as a strategic threat, why do her battle plans look so odd?

Nia is the greatest synthetic military mind in history, save for Styx. Human Fleet desperately needs Styx's help, yet Supreme Commander Mazungu is terrified of ceding her, and Phoenix, too much power. And now Styx herself has competition, as Phoenix's shipboard AI Shali has just acquired a massive analysis program from reeh space, designed specifically to map Nia's mind and beat her.

But can Nia be predicted, before it's all too late?

Nice read

I’ve listened to this series fully through ahead of each new book coming out (from book 4 onwards). Between this, Expeditionary Force by the very prolific Craig Alainson and a healthy dose of BBC radio four, my Alexa is probably starting to wonder if I plan on expanding my audio horizons any time soon. The characters have depth, the world is rich and there’s enough high sci fi to massage the grey matter into pondering more expansive imaginings. I’m a huge Peter F Hamilton and BV Larson fan, these authors are where I gained my love for quality space operas, but Shepherd and his astute choice of the sublime Jon Lee for narration is a winning combination. Take this as a fan boi review, but I’m picky and believe I have decent literary tastes so there’s that ;-) Do give Alainson a try too, as well, RC bray is in Lees league. But buy this series first <3

Cannot get enough of the Shepherd/Lee combination

Love that so many of the characters are involved again. Can only imagine this works if you have been following the whole series, my advice is don’t try and jump in without having read at least some of the previous books! I don’t feel the author gets enough credit for the continued quality of this Spiral Wars series. So much better than Red Rising or Expeditionary Force... Think these are only matched by the Expanse series and Ancillary Justice in recent times.

Great next chapter in the overall story but not the most distinct…

I have to admit, I am struggling to recall the details of this book, which kind of says I stopped listening. I expect another in a series that should have been tied off 3 books ago, but I keep going hoping there will be an end at some point, which is a shame because the first 3-4 books were excellent.

Just read under Kindle there are another 3 or 4 books planned, as Lt Sulu would say ‘Oh my’.

Ahead of getting into book 10 I thought I’d try the first in the series again and I was hooked- now starting book 9 I’m getting dead excited about what book 10 will be!

I thought I’d be bored listening again but it’s such a well woven series of stories I just found myself falling for them all over again- and character is what it’s all about for me- sure I love the action but I only give a fig about a fight if I care about those involved! Also there needs to be jeopardy for those we value or it loses meaning. Anyway I just feel like I’m getting started with the epic scale of the narrative here so please let it continue! For now I’m looking forward to ending book 9 and getting stuck right into 10 - Thanks as always to the wonderful production, narration (the accents are brilliant) and the story! Thanks

2nd time around and it gets better!
