About this listen
His world lies in the hands of tyrants, and his family is dead or estranged, but Leon Tyquese has not lost hope. He believes in liberty and justice for all people, and that the struggle for such things should never be given up. There is nothing that will stop him from fighting those who destroy others in the name of their own glory. He will be joined by his pirate brother, and together they will build something new in the spirit of the old.
One hundred years of war finally ended in victory for Max Canza and the empire he serves. Centuries-old goals are at last within their grasp, and he can see the time when they will lead humanity into a bright and prosperous future. There are always those who resist progress in favor of their own selfish desires, but he will not let anything stop him.
Their two nations have known nothing but anger and hate toward one another, and they remember nothing else. Now their conflict spirals out of control and threatens all the nations no matter their own beliefs. The time is quickly approaching when everyone will have to choose a side or have one chosen for them, and peace will be nothing but a distant memory.
As the human race seems intent on destroying itself, other powers long hidden perceive their time has come and make their move. Their power is far beyond what anyone has ever encountered, and if any of them are to survive, they will have to work together.
Hope is fading, but even the smallest ember can spark the brightest flame.

Captain Keyes is loved by the public but hated by Command. He captains the UHS Providence, an aging supercarrier and the last human ship not dependent on dark tech - technology humanity has used to rule over the galaxy since barely defeating the Ixa in the First Galactic War. Dominance has come at a cost. Over the decades, old allies have grown resentful, and when dark tech itself fails, Captain Keyes’ predictions start coming true: those old allies are now enemies.

They were the Savages. Raiders from our distant past. Elites who left Earth to create tailor-made utopias aboard the massive lighthuggers that crawled through the darkness between the stars. But the people they left behind on a dying planet didn't perish in the dystopian nightmare the Savages had themselves created: they thrived, discovering faster-than-light technology and using it to colonize the galaxy ahead of the Savages, forming fantastic new civilizations that surpassed the wildest dreams of Old Earth.

Imperial Intelligence couldn't find them, the Imperial Fleet couldn't catch them, and local defenses couldn't stop them. It seemed the planet-wrecking pirates were invincible. But they made a big mistake when they raided ex-commando leader Alicia DeVries' quiet home/work, tortured and murdered her family, and then left her for dead. Alicia decided to turn "pirate" herself, and stole a cutting-edge AI ship from the empire to start her vendetta. Her fellow veterans think she's gone crazy, the Imperial Fleet has shoot-on-sight orders. And, of course, the pirates want her dead, too.

Geary believed in the Alliance. Even when he uncovered overwhelming evidence that the highest echelons of the government and fleet command were involved in secret programs and prison camps, he believed it was worth saving. He believed his duty was to see that justice was served even though some factions feared that revealing the truth would cause the Alliance to crumble. But after narrowly surviving two assassination attempts when he brings evidence of the misdeeds to the capital star system, Geary realizes that some want to get rid of him.

We had 20 short years of peace. Twenty years to put worlds back together. Twenty years for Captain Vin Husher to convince us the aliens would return. We didn’t listen. Warmonger, we called him.

If Husher and his ragtag crew can’t manage to stop them, they will smash us.
