Synopsis

New York Times bestselling military science fiction author Ian Douglas brings us the eighth—and penultimate—Star Carrier novel, Bright Light, combining the best action, adventure, and hard science into this universe-spanning seriesThere’s no more time . . .There’s always more time . . .Trevor Gray has been stripped of his command of the starship America, and is unsure what to do with his life. Having dedicated so much of himself to the service, he knew following the super-AI Konstantin’s advice could have severe consequences. He just never thought he would be out of the fight.Because that’s what Earth is in: a fight against a sinister alien force that is so technologically advanced, there seems little hope. And that’s why he had disobeyed his orders in the first place: to figure out a way to stop them. But now he’s beached.Which is just what Konstantin wanted.For the super-AI has a plan: connect Gray with the Pan-Europeans, and set him on a course to the remote star Deneb. There, he is to make contact with a mysterious alien civilization using the new artificial intelligence Bright Light, and maybe—if they can make it in time—prevent humanity from being wiped from the universe.

Far too ambitious in scope to be successful. Like the previous book, this tries to make us feel the fight of advanced humans vs an ultra-transcendent enemy. The problem is that you can't make it realistic; the enemy is so advanced that it's basically hunter-gatherers vs PacFleet. You have to resort t......more

This is the 8th book in the Star Carrier series by Ian Douglas a.k.a. William H. Keith. In this one, Trevor Grey has been stripped of his command and drummed out of the USNA Star Service.

This is the mega species collaboration and networking that I was wanting so much from this series: Us vs everyone, or us and the Shadar vs the Rosset. Fully intergalactic combat by interspecies means. (view spoiler)[ This book continues the theme of insignificant humans surviving against all odds. Odds that seem e (hide spoiler)]......more
