I really enjoyed this book. It had all the classic elements; the human race fighting for it’s survival against a numerical superior powerful race that already controlled most of the galaxy. Not only are the humans fighting the aliens, but two seasoned admirals lead their fleets against each in several nailbitting battles. I enjoyed the fact that over 2/3 of the book was devoted to the back and forth battles between the forces. If you like action, this book is a must read for you. I am looking forward to book 6.
