Space Empires: The Rising Darkness
War has ravaged the Protective Federation for decades. Millions have died. Millions more live in fear. The time to strike back at the enemy is near; but when Chief Admiral Fedrin is wrongfully accused of destroying dozens of their own warships and defecting, the fate of the Federation is anything but certain. Fedrin is forced to flee his home world with a handful of ships and loyal crews in search of answers and revenge. His journey is fraught with perils and Fedrin soon realizes that he is the key to unlocking a great secret…a secret which never should have been forgotten.

Sonar in space? Really?
I struggled through this science fiction novel in spite of its ridiculous science, terrible editing and lousy dialog, finishing it only to find an extreme cliffhanger. It does have an interesting plot, but that doesn't save it from its flaws.
Submarines use sonar (analyzing reflections of sound waves) for underwater sensing, and they "run silent" to avoid being detected by enemies. Sound requires a medium to travel through, which is not present in space. In this book, space ships use sonar to detect enemies, and ships' companies are ordered to keep their voices down to avoid detection by other ships. This is probably the worst scientific blunder I've ever encountered in science fiction.
Christians may appreciate it that the highly advanced good-guy aliens are creationists.

Great book but, it leaves on a cliffhanger so I'm waiting for the next book(s).
