Resumen del Editor
The ongoing war between humanity and the Ulat is a battle of attrition that humanity is unfortunately losing. However, humans have the advantage of trans-hyperdrive technology, which allows their climber fleet, under very narrow and strenuous conditions, to pass through space almost undetectable. Passage at Arms tells the intimate, detailed, and harrowing story of a climber crew and its captain during a critical juncture of the war. Cook combines speculative technology with a canny and realistic portrait of men at war and the stresses they face in combat. Passage at Arms is one of the classic novels of military science fiction.

Historia
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Historia
They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice. A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them. The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we're less primitive. Today, we're a target.

Historia
The Hundred Worlds have withstood invasion by the relentless Hok for decades. The human worlds are strong, but the Hok have the resources of a thousand planets behind them, and their fleets attack in endless waves. The long war has transformed the Hundred Worlds into heavily fortified star systems. Their economies are geared for military output, and they raise specialized soldiers to save our species. Assault Captain Derek Straker is one such man among many.

The U.S.S. Merrimack was the finest battleship class spaceship in Earth's fleet, able to stand up against the best the Palatine Empire could throw at them, even able to attack and kill swarms of the seemingly unstoppable Hive. But nothing could have prepared the captain and crew of the Merrimack to face the Myriad - three colonized worlds in the midst of a globular cluster that the Hive had somehow overlooked.

When humanity reaches for the stars, our probes are destroyed. They crash into an incredibly advanced piece of technology: a massive force-field. Unknown beings have placed a barrier around our star and planets, enclosing us within. We’re locked inside a Great Sphere. Was this invisible obstacle built to imprison us - or to protect us? No one knows the truth, but it soon becomes clear the barrier has leaks. Aliens infiltrate and try to sabotage our efforts to escape our cage.

A deadly poison drifted to every corner of the planet, threatening the last survivors with annihilation. For a soldier like Creed, there is only one way to keep breathing untainted air.

When the Colony on Hayden's world went black, a team was sent to investigate. It was supposed to be a training mission: skip in, find out the Casimir Transmitter had gone dead, report back and wait for resupply from the Fleet. By the time the only surviving member of the team made landfall, it was spectacularly clear that this wasn't a training mission.

They first appear as a series of dots on astronomical plates, heading from Saturn directly toward Earth. Since the ringed planet carries no life, scientists deduce the mysterious ship to be a visitor from another star. The world's frantic efforts to signal the aliens go unanswered. The first contact is hostile: the invaders blast a Soviet space station, seize the survivors, and then destroy every dam and installation on Earth with a hail of asteriods.

The year is AD 2790. With space elevators and giant orbital fleets hovering over Earth, open war looks inevitable, and people are anxious to get away. The lines are drawn, with the Confederacy in the East and the First World Alliance in the West. In hopes of finding a refuge from the looming war, the Alliance is sending Captain Alexander de Leon to explore an Earth-type planet, code-named Wonderland, but at the last minute before launch, a Confederate fleet leaves orbit on a trajectory that threatens both the mission and Alliance sovereignty.

A harrowing story. Slow towards the start, but bold and exciting til the end once the action gets flowing. Worth every penny.

Get it in print instead
I got the impression this book was written with lots of short sections and spaces between them to signify a break, or a switch to a new instant of observation from the main character. If a so, the producers did nothing to signify that, resulting in what seems like a steady narration that leaps all over the place. It was jarring to me and made it difficult to sink into the story.
Really interesting story, but consider checking out
The print/eBook if that style of verbal storytelling would throw you.

good story
ok, the first chapter is overloaded with similes and metaphors, it is pretty obnoxious and silly, but the author tones it down soon enough and we end up with a great hard science fiction story that I have apparently some how missed for decades. lots of great ideas and characters, action packed, some humor and sex, death and violence. the over the top writing style early in the book is no doubt intentional, given our main characters profession. so don't be to quick to bail out on this one, you'll be glad you stayed with it.

One Long Running Space Battle ….
If you love Military Science Fiction, you will love this book. It is 10 hours of a battle as told by a war correspondent. One ship, and one patrol, with one battle. It is tense, exiting, and exhausting.
There is only one thing I would change to transform this book from "great" and absolutely a fun read, to an "award winning" book. But it would be a spoiler, so I will let you read it and guess what I am thinking.
This read like the Battle of Midway or the Battle of Britain from WWII. Back and forth, trying new things, sneaking up on the enemy, being surprised, inflicting damage and taking damage.
When I found out it was a book about one battle, I was not sure about it myself, but Audible's fantastic return policy encouraged me to use a credit. I am very glad I did!

reminds me of submarine warfare
Very good story reminds me of submarine warfare in world war two. The best part was when they were hunted by the enemy and were hiding in the asteroid in climb and they blew it apart to try to get them. The narrator was good but not great.

Not for everyone I suppose.
A good example of how a narrator can make the difference. I couldn't tell the difference between inner monologue out outer dialogue.
The book's focus on "hard science" made it a cumbersome read for me although I suppose some readers might enjoy that. I like a bit of science, but pages and pages of explanation and jargon wore me out.
The book is basically half science and jargon, a quarter exploders the human physic under pressure and the rest is plot and "war is hell" talk.

Confusing at times
Many of the most important moments of the book happen "off screen" and the reader is meant to infer what happened through the reaction of the main character. Maybe it works better in print, but the narration just doesn't work very well.
Often I found myself rewinding to listen to something repeatedly, thinking that I missed a chapter or some paragraph of information, only to realize that the author simply hadn't explained what was going on. It also doesn't help that much of this vague storytelling is done with made up sciencey words and acronyms, also never explained.
I wanted to like it, being a fan of Cook's other books, but it was a slog.
