Publisher's Summary

First contact gone wrong....

It was every starship captain’s nightmare, and for Travis Miller, it was his own personal hell.

He’d done everything by the book, but when the Tahni had attacked him and his crew, there was no choice but to return fire and destroy the first alien vessel humans had ever encountered.

Excoriated in the press, his career in shambles, Travis is exiled to a long patrol of the outer colony worlds. Forgotten, except as a bad example...until the Tahni prove him right by declaring war on the human commonwealth.

Now, Travis Miller is the tip of the spear. Humanity’s best hope for turning back an overwhelming assault on human space. Because to the Tahni, humans are infidels and this is a holy war....

Don’t miss the next explosive series from the number-one Amazon best-selling author of Contact Front, Rick Partlow. This is military sci-fi the way it’s meant to be. It’s perfect for fans of Jay Allan, Jasper T. Scott, and Scott Bartlett.

All 'round excellent.

World building, character building, detail, logic and urgency of battle scenes are all excellent. The narrator's voice suits it nicely. I really enjoyed it! A great example of military sci-fi with protagonists that you care about. I will be listening to the entire series :-)

A good start to an awesome series!

Wow. This is a really awesome sci-fi novel. I came across Rick Partlow with his Duty, Honor, Planet, and was really impressed with how deep it was with its intricate character development and world building.

This new series takes that to great new height, with well-written characters, epic space battles revolving around space physics, and some pretty good laughs. The performance is also on point!

Hope to see more soon

About what you would expect.

A decent space story that took a while for me to get into it. Once there, it was a good story even if a little predictable. I don’t mind predictable in this genre, after all there’s nothing new in this world.

I thought that the voice acting was good and added to the story, helping bring it to life. I didn’t like that this book was clearly written as in introduction to a series, it was never going to be a standalone book. But I think that is a small quibble rather than an actual problem.

It is a book that you would expect from the genre, not pushing the boundaries but a decent offering to the space battle genre.
