Synopsis

Startling Innovations.
Cool Space Ships.
Evil Alien Butt Blasted to Smithereens!
Outpost Attack!

Gateway HD 36951 lies in ruins. All survivors slaughtered. A single, truncated message sent back to Earth. Something very bad indeed is afoot, and the A.S.S. Vorpal Blade (read: nuclear submarine converted to warp-drive space ship) is sent to investigate. But the ferocious, voracious
enemy Dreen wait for no man (or other carbon-based lifeform), and the Blade and her crew are soon the only hope for an alien species pushed to the brink of extinction. Turn back and abandon a new ally or face a heavily armed Dreen destroyer head on.

For the Blade's rough-and-ready crew, it's no contest. And now, with an infusion of technical know-how from humanity's new ally, chaos itself has become a weapon!

New York Times and USA Today multiple bestseller John Ringo joins with NASA and DOD consultant Travis S. Taylor—author of Warp Speed and The Quantum Connection.

Goodreads review by Parrot on December 16, 2014

I enjoyed this book in general. The whole series is a fun bit of fluff Sc-Fi. The reason I wanted to write this review, though, is to pick on a couple of things that annoyed me, though not enough to remove more than one star from the overall picture. I felt it would be appropriate to start at book 3......more

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on January 04, 2011

Third in the series, and if anything this one is even heavier on the techno-speak and theoretical math than the second in the series. Oddly this will be what makes some of you love this book more and will come close to driving others away. I must admit that while I like some hard science fiction, th......more
