About this listen

Be aware that Part 1 has a cliffhanger ending. After almost a century of peaceful exploration and colonization of space, the United Earth Space Force stumbles across a shockingly xenophobic alien race that has more and better armed ships and refuses all attempts at contact. As the outgunned Space Force is driven back in battle after battle in what appears to be a war of extermination, one officer experiences precognitive visions that help him blunt the enemy onslaught, but he can't control or predict when they occur. With the Senior Brass convinced that he's a tactical genius, he's given more and more responsibility and is terrified by the belief that Humanity's Fate will be determined by a battle with himself in overall command.

This is Volume 1 of a military SF series about desperate space battles and the men, women and Artificial Intelligences, who fight and die in them.

needed to actually say CAG properly instead of spelling it out as that bit ruined the entire book for me.

If you are after some casual entertainment there's nothing wrong with this series. But once time travel gets involved the plot gets hammered. I've never been a fan of time loops; this series only reinforced that.

Reads like a train schedule. Endless meetings about what characters are going to do, or would happen if they don't do what they are going to do.
I'm no stranger to sci-fi and hard sci-fi but this is my first dabble in military sci-fi.
Is it all like this? Am I missing something?
First book I haven't been able to finish in over ten years..
So, if you like lots and lots of strategy, planning and exposition about what is going to happen in a meeting, and then dialogue that plays out what happens in said meeting as they planned it, then a brief battle followed by some what if's in the next meeting, all wrapped up in zero characterization and beige world-building, then this is the story for you!
Me, if I require a soul-crushing litany of perfunctory chit-chat and boring strategy meetings, I'll just go to work, thanks.

One of the dullest stories I have ever encounterd
