Fatal Flaws

Gate Ghosts, Book 13

De: S. H. Jucha

Narrado por: Nicole Poole

Admiral Cordelia prosecutes multiple Krackus territories simultaneously with Trident squadrons. However, the success of the Liberation and its Trident escorts to clear territories comes to an end with the loss of multiple warships in a furious engagement against a capable Krackus fleet imperator.

Forced to return to Helgart, Captain Mila Pappas offers a harsh solution to enable the Liberation to return residents to their home worlds. She suggests they no longer engage in ship-to-ship battles against Krackus fleets. Instead, Juno and her companions should fight with the deadly Elvian drones. The idea is readily accepted.

After the integration of Dwerves on the Queller planet of Trevonian, the next Queller world for Dwerves is Pavbleg. The planet’s early colonists suffered setbacks from the primordial fauna. Quellers, Dwerves, and conclave members deliver infrastructure to keep the colonists safe. Dwerves perfectly suited for the wet, dangerous world are integral to the work.

Tocknicka’s troops on Naiad are due to be recalled. This forces the council and the new security commander to scramble to find an alternative means of ensuring peace in Naiad’s domes. The answer arrives from two directions — sisters and Sylians.

Imperium citizens are incensed about an egregious edict enacted by the assembly to search businesses and residences without a legal order to enter. As a confrontation builds, Executor Dakargk plots a dastardly attack to prove to executors and naval headquarters that the conclave can be hurt.

Interesting

“Fatal Flaws” is the thirteenth book in the Ghost Gates Series by S. H. Jucha, and it's clear that the series is nearing its conclusion. I can't help but feel a twinge of sadness at the thought of it ending. With so many major characters and intriguing side stories, there's an abundance of untold tales that could easily keep this series going indefinitely. My imagination runs wild as I read Jucha's work, and I find myself brimming with questions about the characters and their futures, many of which Jucha leaves open to interpretation.

In this installment, Admiral Cordelia continues her relentless campaign to undermine the Krackus Imperium. The successful rehabilitation of the Radag mercenaries has added even more pressure on the Imperium, pushing it closer to collapse. I envision a future where the conquered worlds, liberated by the Conclave, coexist peacefully, forcing the Imperium to adapt. As much as I dread the end of this series, I eagerly await the next book, which may be the final chapter in this epic saga.

I enjoyed this book as an audiobook, which I downloaded from Audible. It's a thirteen-hour and twenty-four-minute journey, expertly narrated by Nicole Poole, who brings the story to life with her skillful narration.

Another great addition to the Gate Ghost series.

Further expansion and rebuilding and rehab of the rahdag home world. Interesting how the defeat of the Krakus empire is going forward without war or invasion.

Great penultimate story. Building to finale

While Gate Ghosts has been an expansive ride, it's good to see it sounding down to an exciting conclusion.

Amazing

A truly amazing saga. From Alex Racine to Julian’s travels I have really enjoyed the series. The quality of the dialogue dropped in the later books but overall I love these stories. Would love to see this on the big screen.
