The stars are within mankind’s reach…but what awaits in the void may end humanity.
Mars and the Moon have been colonized, piracy runs rampant in the asteroid belts, and a thriving society grows in the depths of space. Humanity prepares to embark upon its greatest journey - the colonization of Alpha Centauri.
Then, everything changes. A deep space reconnaissance probe discovers a new Earth-like planet 12 light-years from Earth’s sun. The probe also finds something unusual, something...unnerving. A new mission is created, a space fleet is formed, and humanity embarks on unravelling the greatest mystery of all - the origins of life itself.
Can the factions of Earth remain united, or will old rivalries and animosities destroy the fragile peace in the face of this terrifying existential threat? Will exploration prove to be a fatal mistake?
If you love new technologies, fast-paced action, and gut-wrenching turns of fate, you’ll love this military sci-fi series.

HT1 (SW) retired. Spent too much time trying to negotiate. President Biden might but no REAL leader would.
bravo Zulu on using the term "ground pounders".

My only dislike are two common ones, they make pop culture references yet act like scifi books never existed. Just one glance at a series and they would have all the ideas they need and develop later. Plasma torpedoes? Come on...Fighter ships? So much more.
Second hate how they all shout and scream on a navy bridge. Far prefer books where the captian makes sure his crew is calm and professional. Shouldnt be screaming to me heard on a ship bridge.
Not bad scifi

1 - They're in a deep space exploration starship and don't bring multitudes of surface mapping satellites or shielded drones...to ah...explore with. Seems the expedition was rather poorly planned.
2 - Although we figured out FTL travel, our imaging technology has gotten far far worse than it is....today. Resolution on spy sats are ridiculous, let alone drones. Sad to see that this technology actually degrades over time. A 'high altitude' drone could only pick up a grainy image of beings and was experiencing 'electronic interference'. Why not put a satellite in an orbit to pass over the site? In the story it 'took too long' but I'm fairly sure intelligence agencies can task satellites for observation in around 45 minutes....today.
3 - Travel to a planet with aliens for first contact, have issues with drones, dont wait for imaging, and we just put soliders on the ground anyway and go in blind with almost no information. Such a inexplicable reckless rush to the planet its kind of cheesy. Do they have weapons? How many are there? No idea? No worries, lets just walk right in and see what happens.
4 - We land troops but let a diplomat be surrounded and kidnapped. No one was able to understand all of the aggressive/telegraphed actions and just watch it happen. Seems unbelievable.
5 - They come into the system with all the electronic systems blasting away, make a b-line directly towards the alien planet and plop down in orbit. The aliens, (who have a galactic empire) don't know they're there and apparently are unable to figure out how many ships are in orbit. Today, we can pick up objects coming from all directions in the solar system and know if they're decelerating or emitting electronic signals. But these Aliens are unable to do that. hmm.

There are quite a few other situations where you're going to need to suspend much of what you know about science but these were the ones that stood out.
Fun but really takes some liberty with science..

That said, if you love military history and/or military sci-fi, this may be a great read for you.
Heavy on military, lower on character development
