Beginning his 2000+ year life as a teenage founder of the Star Force military, Paul-024 has been on the front lines throughout the growth of Earth's planetary defense force from inception through both the Skarron and lizard wars. Then when the V'kit'no'sat returned and began annihilating Earth's interstellar empire starting with its capitol, Paul was there fighting a stalling retreat while Star Force evacuated as many people as possible, losing system after system as they were pushed further out into the galactic rim.The result has been an ever growing Devastation Zone where the V'kit'no'sat patrol the destroyed territory to keep Star Force out and a front line that they continually keep plucking systems from...but a change is coming, and as Star Force's technology and strength continue to rise almost to parity with the enemy Dinosaur empire, the V'kit'no'sat are taking notice. The fragments of the rogue Human civilization they thought they'd mostly destroyed are going to be tolerated no longer, with a major push coming that Paul and the other trailblazers must stop...else the eventual fall of Star Force will soon follow.

This entry is jam packed with action. Ship combat, ground combat, archon combat, and lots of it. There is some story to explain what's going on, but there was a large amount of combat and tactics. Pretty exciting.
However, there were quite a few grammatical mistakes. Having been through this many novels, I've gotten rather used to it, but for some reason, these ones stood out.
Wow - and I thought Star Force had been brought back to be wiped out
Lots of great Admiral Paul action Some great surprises Not a victory for either side Some growth on how to remain mentally strong with having to kill those that probably do not deserve to die, yet with them following orders, if you doc not kill them, they would kl you.... And kill those you were protecting
