Synopsis

The Galaxy at Risk!

Humans have come a long ways since the looking glass gates first appeared and an alien menace turned a motley crew of scientists, sailors and force recon Marines into battle-hardened space adventurers. Now with other species running scared, it’s up to humans to take the lead and mold a weapon capable
of checking the Dreen—a galactic cancer that has so far proved unstoppable. Their arsenal is a hodge-podge of powerful technologies begged, borrowed and/or looted from across the galaxy and cobbled together on what has to be the strangest ship ever to ply the starways: the good ship Vorpal Blade II!

Great Ideas! Cool Space Ships! Evil Alien Butt Blasted to Smithereens!

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on January 09, 2011

This is the fourth novel in the Looking Glass saga, a story of humanities first foray into interstellar space, the species we meet there and the one that sees us as...moles to be whacked...when we "pop our heads up". Well, this book changed ratings along the way. When I started this series I really......more

Goodreads review by Christopher on November 02, 2021

Hurry up and wait...the novel. Military SF always occupies a weird space (pun not intended). Such novels are often a poor attempt to recreate the masterful Starship Troopers (which was able to perfectly walk the line between small unit infantry tactics, the bureaucratic inanities of garrison duty, an......more

Goodreads review by Parrot on December 17, 2014

Okay, so this series has always been a little bit silly up until now. Cat people, hamster people, humourous acronyms.... but this fourth and apparently final book in the series really ramps it up, especially towards the end. Now, I kind of enjoyed the extra silliness a little, but that's just the ki......more
