Shattered Nexus

First Colony, Book 19

By: Ken Lozito

Narrated by: Scott Aiello

General Sean Quinn leads a desperate mission to return Aczar refugees to their distant homeworld—a mercy run that spirals into something far deadlier.

The Aczar have emerged from their underground exile wielding orbital weapons that could challenge any fleet. Their revolution has freed them from ancient manipulation, but the refugees Sean escorts are branded traitors for choosing outsiders over their own people. There is no sanctuary waiting—only accusations and unknown consequences.

As diplomacy crumbles, Major Ethan Gates traces mysterious signals to a forgotten relic drifting in the void. What he uncovers could redefine humanity's understanding of their greatest enemy.

In uncharted space, forgotten wars echo through the darkness. First contact may bring salvation—or annihilation.

Yet again, the story went by too quickly.

Once again the story started off simple and then all hell broke loose. The book jist flew by, as usual. The stories are always very easy to get into and it is very difficult to pause. Rationing this series is hard as hell. As always the characters are believable, their world views and actions are consistent across all of the series, but they grow as time goes by.
