Story
The Omega War is in full swing. Earth has fallen to General Peepo’s army, and the surviving human mercenaries have taken refuge at the hidden Winged Hussars’ base in New Warsaw. As humanity begins to think about how to recover the planet, one thing is obvious - more powerful weapons of war will be needed in the effort. One of the keys to recapturing Earth will be the Raknar of Cartwright’s Cavaliers, but the power sources of many of the giant mecha have become unusable over the course of history.

Story
War has come to the worlds of Humans. The rich planet of Tau-Rietzke, however, is far from Earth and the Mercenary Guild’s invasion, and its alien-registered mercenary companies are a safe haven for humans on the run. Organizations like the Midnight Sun Free Company. Having just completed another successful mission and taken possession of three Raknars, it was party time for Saisho Branco and the Midnight Sun personnel, and they were enjoying a little down time...until the war spilled over into their corner of the galaxy and two competing organizations showed up to steal the Raknars.

Story
Abraham Murdock left his home of Sheridan, Arkansas, at 17 to start a merc career that spanned almost 50 years, working for dozens of companies, killing aliens and getting paid across the galaxy. Near the end of his career, he landed a gig with Cartwright’s Cavaliers. The storied Four Horsemen unit was just coming back from near catastrophe, and the battle-proven Murdock was an ideal choice for their top sergeant. It would have been a perfect last contract, but then his dropship was destroyed in the Chimsa system, killing the flight crew and him. Or did it?

Story
When Todd’s critically damaged ship dropped out of hyperspace near the human colony world of Azure, he had no memory of his past. He didn’t know who he was, or even what he was, and the humans didn’t either. That didn’t stop the colonists of Azure - they took him in, anyway...even though they didn’t understand how he could do some of the things he could do. Todd and his descendants consider themselves human - eight-armed and water-breathing - but human, nonetheless. After 70 years living among humans, Todd’s descendants are going back out into the Union to make their mark.

The mission is simple. Escort an emissary to an intergalactic peace summit. Try not to get in the way. Lt. Magnus and his 79th Recon Team have certainly handled worse, after all. But when an explosion rocks the tower and sends everyone into a panic, Magnus and his asset find themselves cut off from the rest of the team. Worse still, a dying alien chieftain gives them a priceless drive of intel, marking them for death. The mission has officially changed. With enemies on all sides, Magnus must do everything in his power to protect the emissary and escape the tower.

Publisher's Summary
Peacemakers. The Galactic Union’s most capable enforcers and resolute negotiators, their name alone elicits fear and awe among the Union’s citizenry.
While the occupation of Earth continues, MinSha mercenaries under the command of Major General Drehnayl have assaulted human-held colonies in the outer rim, wiping them out completely. With the famed Four Horsemen nowhere to be found, the Mercenary Guild’s attempt to instill fear and subvert humanity is perilously close to reality. Tasked with finding the MinSha is Jessica Francis, Earth’s first Peacemaker, but the odds aren’t in her favor. Racing against time, Jessica realizes that finding Drehnayl's forces isn’t enough - she must do something to stop their atrocities and end their reign of terror.
Upon locating the MinSha fleet, Jessica faces down Drehnayl’s armada with a band of heroes both hopelessly outmanned and under-equipped on the binary planet Victoria Bravo. Her decision made, and with MinSha Lieutenant Colonel Tirr and the near-AI Lucille at her side, Jessica charges into battle intent on stopping Drehnayl once and for all...or to die trying. A Peacemaker must set the terms, honor the threat, and know when to stand or fall. For Jessica and her friends, that time is now.

worst book in the four horsemen series
crappy story line. jumps back and forth in time between multiple characters perspectives. which destroys the suspense as you already know what happens in the next scene. and does not talk anymore with the rest of the series

probably the weakest in the series so far
I love the story in the universe a lot and I understand it's more of a story about a place then characters
but a couple of things that rubs me the wrong way
the writing kind of fell off from the last couple.
there was a couple too many Dave's ex machina
these hardcore racist come around a little bit too easily
and the kid was not needed it's cheapened up a lot of the plot.

The Peacekeeper Guild Story Arc
This book and book 2 are written by different authors than the original and cover tangential story arcs. While this broadens and adds more depth to the galactic struggle, it also stalls the progress of the primary battle-for-earth story. Using the Halo series as a baseline, its more like Halo Legends than the Halo Saga. That said, I enjoyed many of the Halo Legends stories but found others less interesting.
The MC's mission seems illogical and ill-conceived, with the guild assigning her as a lone peacekeeper to sleuth-out those responsible for a human colony destruction. Then, her deciding to press on without getting additional support, knowing the likelihood of a deadly encounter from a MinSha fleet bent on destruction of every human they encounter. While her acts of bravery and gallantry during the battle of Victoria Bravo were impressive, her decision to easily forgive and forget the atrocities committed by the surrendering MinSha troops was cringe-worthy for it's ridiculousness.
The rest of the book covered other secondary characters on secondary missions and was interesting but was too often bogged down with lengthy sections of intrigue side issues.
There is one constant throughout these books being that of Todd McLaren's excellent narrating performance.
