Archangel: Rebirth
The men who ruled the galaxy are dead.
What comes next may be worse.
Captain Brent Parthet and the Archangels shattered the Consortium’s grip on humanity, killing the architects of a corrupt system that fueled war, exploitation, and genocide. The victory was real—but it left a vacuum no one is prepared for.
With the Consortium leaderless and intelligence agencies in disarray, factions across human space scramble for power. Old enemies maneuver in the shadows, new tyrants rise overnight, and the truth Parthet exposed threatens to tear civilization apart. Chaos is spreading faster than any fleet can contain it.
To stop the next catastrophe, the Archangels must move before the galaxy collapses in on itself. Hidden biolabs, secret communications hubs, and the dark science behind the Archangel program itself hold the key to preventing history from repeating—but every answer comes with a cost.
Trust is fragile. Allies are unreliable. And Parthet is forced to decide how far he’s willing to go to keep humanity from destroying itself all over again.
Book 5 in this new military science fiction series by Rick Partlow, bestselling author of Drop Trooper and Taken to the Stars.
Filled with explosive and realistic military action as well as heroes you can't help but root for, this is military Sci-Fi the way it's to be!

engaging and well written
Military sci-fi is not known for the depth of their characters or for addressing big questions. While this not that far off from the genre, it is a step above.
Parlor is a talented writer and he spins good and entertaining stories.
It may not be the Iliad, and the science is by necessity closer to magic than anything we can relate to, it is consistent and self-contained enough that things like antigravity and hyperspace are just part of the narrative and do not intrude too much.
It’s a five stars book for me, but I gave it 4 stars because I try to reserve those ranking for Homer and the few storytellers of that caliber.
