Two worlds preparing their defenses....

A ship struggling to get back in the fight....

An enemy continuing its relentless attack....

A former enemy that could hold the answer....

With the fate of billions in his hands, Captain Scott is offered a way to save them all and end the bloodshed, but if it backfires, he could lose everything.

Sometimes, there is no good choice.

Each book in the series is good as we continue through the ongoing saga. Into the next book.

Heavy cruisers, battleships and dreadnaughts... This is an episode that focuses on grand space battles. It felt like the author pretty much just skipped hardship that followed the last episode, and focused on ensuing battles. I quite liked it, despite the inhuman effort the crew had to put in to repair the Aurora.

It is picking up...

Great read; non-stop combat. It features continuous battle sequence(s); it highlights what makes Frontiers Saga series so unique in sci-fi/ space opera genre.

good episode in the Saga

I grew up with start trek and star wars movies. This one series is fantastic science fiction story line. I have listened to these books more than once on audible. I would not be surprised if there is a movie or few to come out and be just as good as the books.. Start from the beginning of this series and you'd likely be hooked like I am...

The storyline is extremely interesting.

Favorite Sci-fi book series! Ryk Brown's stories are engaging and the Jeffrey Kafer's narrations are some of the best I have heard.

Keep it up!
