The Darkness: The Conglomerate Trilogy

by William S. Frisbee Jr.

With his ship destroyed Luke returns to New Alamo while Leonessa returns to Athena to help rebuild her home. War is coming and the colonies must defend themselves against the religious fanatics of Earth, but there are greater threats, lurking in the darkness and preparing to strike. Topa Suresh has an even more important task for Luke, a mission that could hasten the death of the Conglomerate and the collapse of civilization, or save it. The drums of war are beating.

This is part two of The Conglomerate. We get introduced to new allies and more antagonists as we also learn more about the Topa. Mr. Frisbee is a great storyteller with his strong characters and fascinating world building. Will Luke and his team save the universe? We will have to wait for the next book to find out.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Great series. Another action packed series with fun well developed and developed charachters, human and alien. Simple truths like, stagnate and you die, alienate yourself and you die. Civilizations and or individules could and should learn that as well as keep pressing forward but keep an eye on your past or backside, never no when or what will come out to bite you. Really enjoyed the science well within the realm of possability.
Thanks and will enjoy more by this very talented key pusher.

Another great one

I've just finished this book and it is just as good as the first one. I can't wait to see what the next one is like. Minor grammar issues but nothing that detracts from the story.

Good series

This book also exploded with action that part of me feels like could have been expanded upon and skipping all the drama. They still had a good amount of action though! The tap were defeated pretty easily but hopefully not all of them. Entertaining and good tactics.

Another wild ride!

Great character building, riveting story and edge of your seat action. This is my second time reading this trilogy and I'm sure I'll be reading it again in a couple of years.

Just good!

Gets better and better the more I read. A Space Opera with the character development similar to Weber with a dash of Herbert and Heinlein.

A grim picture of present and future?

What about sentient life is the need to conquer. Frisbee speculates man and aliens cannot co exist. Perhaps war is built into our genes.
