Humanity's last encounter with aliens saw 16.2 billion people killed in a war with the Merkiaari that had spanned decades. Two hundred years later, the Alliance is cautiously exploring beyond its borders again, but the survey corp is considered a mere gesture by some. General Burgton of the 501st Infantry Regiment believes a lack of expansion is leading the Alliance into stagnation. So when one small ship discovers a new alien race, it should be an easy decision to make contact, but what if the aliens are like the Merkiaari?

Publisher's Summary
Hard Duty: Sixteen billion dead. In humanity's last brush with the Merkiaari, it was nearly wiped out in a war that spanned decades. When survey ship captain Jeff Colgan discovers a new alien race, he's required to investigate. But what if the life form is as deadly as the Merkiaari?
As the aliens discover Colgan's ship and begin to hunt him down, the captain's mission changes from one of study to one of survival.
What Price Honor: Nanotechnology was all that kept humanity afloat in their brutal war against the Merkiaari, and it led directly to the creation of vipers, a regiment of cyborg super soldiers tasked with protecting the Alliance. When Gunnery Sergeant Gina Fuentez finds one of the fabled viper cyborgs in a terrorist camp during a mission, her squad comes under attack. Two members of her squad are dead, and she'll face the same fate if she can't escape the ensuing firefight.
Operation Oracle: General Burgton's self-imposed mission is to safeguard the alliance from future Merkiaari attacks. As the black missions Burgton authorizes begin to fail, he spends trillions of dollars on a forbidden solution: artificial intelligence. When the project collapses, Burgton compounds his crime. If he can't build an AI, he'll just have to steal one!

One of the most fantastic sci-fi stories ever
I'm very picky about the sci-fi stories I want to enjoy, and this has ticked all my boxes for approval to sit amongst my most enjoyed sci-fi's.
There are a broad range of characters, all of them central, none of them neither too dominating to the plot nor unimportant to it.
They each shed a different light on the events unfolding within the story and you learn to see all the different sides of the story and even get to see and understand their personal bias.
The sciencey elements are fantastic, and the amount of time it takes for anyone to get anywhere in the galaxy imparts both a sense of realism to scientific advancement and a sense of scale at the vastness of space.
I especially enjoyed the described technologies in how they're described. It touches on what the tech is, the basic of what it does and paints a kind of implied picture about how it works without digging too deep into any kind of fictional theoretical science and bogging you down with stopping to try and understand.
All of the facts as they're presented are easy and comfortable to digest and continue on into the story with.
And to top it all off, this is narrated wonderfully!
I will most definitely be following the rest of the books in this series.
Comfortable 5 out of 5 from me.

Starts strong
I struggled to finish this. The first part I found the best, but after I found it wasn't as interesting. I didn't bother finishing the story. I think i lost interest as the story jumped all over the place after I got invested in the characters, then when the story jumped back I just did not care.
