I am really pleased about how good this series is. I am guilty of judging books by the cover as I am sure from time to time we all are. I was not moved at all by this series covers and had not really given them a 2nd look until a friend of mine read them first. They were extremely effusive in their praise of this series. When I read the 1st book I immediately bought the rest of the series and started reading this one right away. If you like space operas then this series should be on your list. Give it a read you wont be disappointed. This is a series so you definitely need to start with book 1 or you will have no idea what is going on in this book. This book picks up a little before the end of the last book with what was going on with some other characters that you did not find out what happened to in the first book then continues the story of book 1.

Wow did this go downhill!

First book started a very promising concept and approach. This book totally disappointed me. Filled with extraneous subplots and silly premises, it was obviously puffed up to make a four book series. Didn't meet my mom standards for believability so I'm giving this series up before I waste any more time on it.

I'm pretty hooked on this series. Bummer I jumped in so early on, I've got a long wait for the next book I can't wait for.
I can't believe this is only Michael Freeports second book, he writes like a pro. he is going to be a writer to watch.

Fantastic book

Different races. Fighting aliens. Alliances with aliens. Searching for long lost Earth and long lost humans. All the things I like in a sci-fi book.

I enjoyed the first book, the premise was interesting, looked forward to the sequel, but I had to put it down when I read a "flag officer" respond to a tactical summary with "wow!"
