About this listen

A Rain of Fire: The dark forces of the Neo Hegemony strike, sweeping across the worlds of the Arcadian sector and crushing all in their path.

One system stands against the onslaught: the Kingdom of New Avalon. But the men and women of their expeditionary forces are trapped behind enemy lines on a besieged planet. Losing those troops will lose the war. Their only hope? A last ditch rescue mission led by Captain Hal Cutter and his battleship, Achilles.

Titan's Vengeance: The Reach. A vast barren tract of space lying between the besieged stars of the Kingdom of New Avalon and their distant allies. And it is the latest battlefield in the war burning across the void.

Admiral Valin Sarven of the Hegemony fleet is as cunning as he is ruthless. A master tactician commanding the most powerful vessel in space, the battleship Behemoth. He is dispatched into the Reach with a single goal: to sever the long, tenuous supply lines linking the Kingdom to the Liberty Federation.

A Relentless Fury: One after another, the Kingdom's star bases have fallen before the New Hegemony and their coalition. Only one remains in the strategically vital Talos Rift: Valestra.

WWII

I don't know if I'm stating the obvious or not somewhere this has already been mentioned but if you know anything about world war II you know how this series ends. I still think it's a good rendition of world war II in space. lol

Lack of any focus

Story drifts from character to character never remaining on any character enough to peak any I terest in them. 16 chapters in and there is nothing interesting. I believe he went back to several characters once in passing. Author does not seem to have any specific plot except the big war that is scantily framed. I can not get immersed in the book because characters are not emphasized for any length of time. each window to a character lasts around 3 character minutes before jumping to a completely different place and character.

A retelling that is tiresome.

So, I am used to Sci fi books rehashing history up until a point. Often in thinking about things in retrospect it seems obvious even thought provoking. In this case it is unimaginative and boring.

If you know WW2 history this is an annoying yawner with sub par character development. If you don't... maybe it would be OK.
