Publisher's summary

We hoped, desperately, that they came in peace.

We were wrong.

Thirty years after the Second Swarm War devastated Earth and its colonies, a powerful, mysterious alien ship has invaded our space. Entire planets are ravaged, whole moons shattered. Any starship sent against it never came home.

But Admiral Proctor, a war hero from our last brush with annihilation, is called out of retirement to take the reins of humanity's newest starship. The ISS Independence and her crew, with Admiral Proctor at the helm, will stand as Earth's last defense. Somehow, against all odds, they will save us, even when our enemy is not just an unstoppable alien ship, but a ghost from humanity's past bent on its utter destruction.

And if they fail, we fall.

For good.

Well crafted

Nick Webb never fails to entertain. He crafts a story like painting a Rembrandt, layered, detailed with depth and definition. He forgets no details and tends to weave even some of the smallest story line detritus into a piece of fine fabric.

Great Si-Fi, well written!

The author spins a fine Si-Fi story and in the end you'll want to jump right into the next book in the series. If you love Si-Fi you'll love this book! Well written and great narration!

Slow to start but the end will hook you

I wasn’t sure what to expect jumping into a story set so long after the events of the first three books, but it did a good job of setting an opening and ending. The middle sagged a little, but that could just be my own personal exhaustion and inability to focus on some of the new story elements. Far fewer explodey’s than the previous books. But also sets up far more complicated scenarios. It lost me a little but pulled me back in for the end. I’ll give the rest a fair shake too :)

Great

highly recommend to anyone who loves sci-fi good story line in continuing with the first trilogy, vocals we're great again, the ending leaves you wanting to listen/read the next book. Will have to go back and listen to the first trilogy while waiting for the next book.

The best space battles I've read...

Shelby Proctor is BACK, and she's got a tangled mess of Aliens, Politics, BIG Business, and a Crazy new religion to sort out... At the same time that she's saving humanity... Again!
Once again Nick Webb delivers a rip-roaring good tale!
