About this audiobook

An enemy might just have to become an ally . . . in order to save humankind

The United States of North America is now engaged in a civil war with the Earth Confederation, which wants to yield to the demands of the alien Sh'daar, limit human technology, and become a part of the Sh'daar Galactic Collective. USNA President Koenig believes that surrendering to the Sh'daar will ultimately doom humankind.

But when highly advanced, seemingly godlike aliens appear through an artificial wormhole in the Omega Centauri Cluster 16,000 light years from Earth, President Koenig is faced with a tremendous choice: continue fighting the Sh'daar . . . or ally with them against the newcomers in a final war that will settle the fate of more than one universe.

Ratings and reviews

(audiobook) I like this book series quite a bit, I would like to rate it higher except for one major issue. The author includes alot of long explanations about things that don't necessarily need them, and he does it so frequently I ended up skipping a third of the novel. He has done this with every book too, so if you have listened to one you end up getting long, un-necessary filler over and over again that you already learned in the previous books. interesting story and decent repeating characters, fun space combat but too much filler.

This book is an excellent addition to the series. It is the most unique take on space warfare ever. Star Carrier is the greatest book series of all time. It is a truly amazing and mind altering read. AWESOME!!!
