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.

Space drama very little tech

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Most of this book is about the conflict that occurs between humans. Space is only the backdrop.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The last chapter of the book actually started to get interesting ... started.

What about Greg Tremblay’s performance did you like?

Easy to listen to, good vocal range for different characters, nice reading speed.

Did Independence inspire you to do anything?

Write this review to remind me not to buy book 2.

Great new sfi opera trilogy. Must read.

Nick Webb has taken the time to build an exciting and dramatic core story that allows for both human/human and human/alien intertwined plots.
Thanks Nick for a great new beginning.

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!

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!

Every goodbye is not gone

Very good, deep weaved story, interesting characters, excellent writing. Narrator is superb! He does a fantastic job. He will be one of my favorites from now on. Will definitely read the next books and look for more from this author.

Disappointed

Hard to stay interested with slow writing and irritating voice performance. If the writer uses SEALS and Ranges as background, he needs to do some better background study.

Looks like Nick Webb laid dud.

This book is very disjointed and the plot is weak. Not as good as other books.

loving this series

I'm honestly surprised more people don't know about this book series. I've been extremely happy with the story progression and character development.
