We fought them for decades.

And we won.

But victory has proven more destructive than defeat.

Years after defeating aliens bent on burning down the galaxy, the Interstellar Union is breaking apart, its member species undermining each other at every opportunity.

When an interdimensional distress signal arrives, only humanity is interested in helping.

Captain Vin Husher is sent in with a task force....

...right into a trap laid by humanity’s old enemy.

Surrounded by a bioengineered super-species and unable to return home, Husher must draw on decades of experience just to keep his people alive.

If he can’t survive long enough to escape this hellish pocket universe and warn humanity of the impending danger, all will be lost.

And it might already be too late.

Editor's Pick

Another out of this world collaboration
"Scott Bartlett writes action-packed military sci-fi full of world-building detail. Mark Boyett has narrated every one of Scott’s books—over 15 of them and counting. So I know I can depend on the pair to bring the latest entry in their ongoing collaboration to life. Trapped starts a new series in a familiar universe, and provides a fantastic (in both senses of the word) jumping on point for fans of space operas, battle-tested starship captains, and a bio-engineered super-species created by an artificial intelligence intent on taking over the galaxy!? Where do I enlist?"

This is book 1 of the Fleet Ops series. I hadn't read the previous series, which they make reference to throughout most of the book. Still, I didn't think it distracted from this book at all. All in all, I liked the book and will be purchasing the next in the series when it comes out in a few days.

A fun book with lots of action

I did not love this book, not my cup of tea, a battle against insurmountable odds, another battle, a series of battles, not much of a story, lots of battles. if that is your cup of tea you will probably like it
