The Unified Civilized Council has struck at the Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems and struck hard with biological, genecracker, and nanite warfare, causing tens of billions of deaths and wiping out the populations of entire systems. The Unified Council is using the Confederacy's refusal to turn systems liberated from the Precursor Autonomous War Machines as the cassus belli for their attacks and have struck without a declaration of war, going straight for their non-conventional tactics. The murderous Precursor Autonomous War Machines have returned after spending nearly a year refitting, rearming, and reactivating reinforcements and have attacked Council and Confederacy where they find them.
The Confederacy is not the helpless victim the Council or the PAWM thinks it is, and the Terran Confederate Space Force has arrived with the roar of HEAVY METAL IS HERE! in dozens of systems.
Unknown to any of the combatants, a new player has entered the game that will change the entire war for the worse.
I've read the first 6 books in this series and they have all been great stories with really interesting characters. The world building will blow your mind. You feel as if you are already there. I can't wait for the next one!
This series has been chugging along for some time, and this volume finally feels like this amazing story is reaching a true climax. Stakes are rising, trouble is brewing, and a new enemy has begun to undercut the Terran Confederacy at a fundamental level. This remarkable volume stands on its own and sets up the approaching climax.
I read the entire serial as it was posted on Reddit, bought all the books. Looking forward to the 12 year long Netflix/Amazon/Apple series when they pick it up.
The greatest sci-fi series of the 21st Century so far.
I really appreciate this story arc and the fact it all connects together to form a very enjoyable book. I can hardly wait for the next book to come out. Please get and read this series.
