About this audiobook
A battered but undefeated Alliance
A war they cannot win by force
A plan to turn the tide of history
For two years, the Castle Federation and the Alliance of Free Stars have stood against Marshal James Walkingstick of the Terran Commonwealth and his mission of conquest. Battles have been won and lost, worlds have died, and soldiers like Admiral Kyle Roberts have been forged on the anvil of war.
But the Alliance cannot win. The Commonwealth has more worlds, more ships, more soldiers. They claim their victory is inevitable. That history is on their side.
Refusing to accept the Commonwealth's future, the Alliance embarks on a do-or-die mission to end the war in one strike. If Kyle Roberts's plan works, the Commonwealth will break.
But if it fails, the Alliance will be broken.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Glynn Stewart is one of two authors who has never written a book I did not like, and this series maintains that. The Castle Fedrration universe has all the typical Stewart traits; diverse cultures, deep characters, compelling storylines, and heroes and villains with real motives. While this series draws on the Hornblower legacy, it is well done. In particular, I loved that one thing to make the Stellar Fox such an excellent strategist and military man was his ability to listen to sound advice and his understanding of the chain of command - even where he was forced into bad decisions by superiors.
