Summary

The alien forces known as the Lankies are gathering on the solar system’s edge, consolidating their conquest of Mars and setting their sights on Earth. The far-off colony of New Svalbard, cut off from the rest of the galaxy by the Lanky blockade, teeters on the verge of starvation and collapse. The forces of the two Earth alliances have won minor skirmishes but are in danger of losing the war. For battle-weary staff sergeant Andrew Grayson and the ragged forces of the North American Commonwealth, the fight for survival is entering a catastrophic new phase. Forging an uneasy alliance with their Sino-Russian enemies, the NAC launches a hybrid task force on a long shot: a stealth mission to breach the Lanky blockade and reestablish supply lines with Earth. Plunging into combat against a merciless alien species that outguns, outmaneuvers, and outfights them at every turn, Andrew and his fellow troopers could end up cornered on their home turf, with no way out and no hope for reinforcement. And this time, the struggle for humanity’s future can only end in either victory or annihilation.

  • I've managed to go through three of the main novels and one of the short side stories, but I've decided to call it quits. The main reason being, I'm just so worn out by the constant portrayal of alien species as "bug-like" or having senses that defy explanation unless they have eyes. The whole concept of aliens relying on biological technology is getting tiresome. Why does every alien species we encounter have to be either insectoid or obsessed with organic-tech? It's not scary at all, just unoriginal and overdone. Now, let me make it clear that I'm a combat veteran from the time when women weren't allowed in combat units. And while I have absolutely no issue with gender representation in stories, especially futuristic sci-fi where it could reflect reality, I'm just fed up with the portrayal of women as superhuman beings who surpass every man. It's absurd. Nobody with actual experience buys into that, and it's just as unoriginal as the boring alien concept. Putting those gripes aside, the stories themselves are pretty solid. I appreciate the author's descriptive style and the attention to detail when it comes to military ranks, culture, and equipment. The weapons, technology, and ships are all well thought out, and those aspects were definitely the highlights of the books for me. As for the narrator of the audiobook, they did a good job overall, although there were some inconsistencies with certain characters (especially Col. Campbell) from book to book. However, their performance was entertaining.
  • This series is awesome and the story is fantastic. The only issue I had was with the narrator who seemed to put in too much effort into the character voices. It felt like everyone was constantly angry or had been chain-smoking for two decades while chugging whiskey and turpentine.
