Armada Wars #4
From Shattered Stars
Riishi has fallen, and with it a mighty empire. The Viskr Junta is no more.
After witnessing the end of that civilisation at the hands of the great enemy, Elm Caden no longer has any doubts: Voice is a threat to all of humanity, and the Shaeld Hratha are his most potent weapon.
While dreadships pour from the Deep Shadows, Caden is faced with an impossible choice: help the ailing Imperial Navy to counter this overwhelming invasion, or abandon his mission and his loyalties to wage a personal war against Voice.
And even in the darkest of hours, the light can fade yet further. New information has reached Caden's ears; intelligence which reveals glimpses of the horrific motives behind Voice's crusade, and the identity of the next major target. With the Imperial Navy already retreating to the core systems he is about to learn a terrible truth:
Every World has its Price.
The first three volumes of R. Curtis Venture's breakout series all pointed to one inescapable conclusion: grave events are happening behind the scenes. In this fourth episode the point is rammed home without compromise or apology, setting the stage for an unsettling cliffhanger and the apocalyptic finale yet to come.

Book number 4 and I gotta say, I've really been enjoying this series so far! I hear number 5 is the final? If so there's going to be a lot to wrap up.
We follow Caden (a character I wasn't too keen on in the first book but has since grown on me) as he tries to unravel a mystery about a galaxy consuming entity, it's nature and where it's from.
Without spoiling anything I really, really digged the concepts of this and the reveal at the end of the final battle/third act of this book was spectacularly breath taking, both for the characters experiencing it and us reading it.
I like this authors approach to writing, his stuff is generally very well thought out and researched, the battles, especially the space battles are fun and the pacing, I've noticed that the pacing seems to improve with every subsequent release, which is good. It tells me that this author isn't stagnant and pushes himself, the quality of his work and the scope grows with every new addition.
Am looking forward to book 5!
