But Captain Lucas Sterling knows that in the fight against the Sa’Nerra there is only victory or death.
Sterling is an Omega Captain. His rank and his command of the Fleet Marauder Invictus were both won in a depraved and monstrous trial of grit and determination.
Sterling will do anything to ensure the Sa’Nerra do not prevail. Even if that means killing Fleet crew that have been “turned”. Even if that means killing the people he loves.
Back on Earth, the United Governments are desperate for peace. Then after fifty years without a single word of contact between the two races, the Sa’Nerra finally send an emissary.
But the belligerent alien race sent an emissary of war, not peace.
The fate of humanity now lies in the hands of Captain Sterling and the Omega officers of the Invictus. But victory is only possible if he is willing to do anything it takes to win.
My Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. It was nice to find an honest to goodness Military Science Fiction with aliens and battles and action from page one. My only complaint is that it needed a better editor, as words were missing in sentences, or a was used instead of an, and that spoiled it a little bit. I'm hoping this was because it was an ARC and that what goes on to get published will have had that final polish.
But even if it doesn't, if you're like me and enjoy a good old-fashioned, action-packed, science fiction story, you won't go wrong with this one. The characters are well written and the world building is excellent. Even the necessity of being ruthless in a war against an enemy, is made both believable and understandable, within the context of the storyline. I can't wait to read the next one.
