About this listen

War has come to the Galaxy.

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. Beset on all sides by lethal enemy warships, he must lead a rag-tag fleet of naval and civilian vessels across Hegemony held space to save the beleaguered Kingdom soldiers.

In the skies and orbit, Lieutenant Jason ‘Rick’ Richards and the untested pilots of Viper squadron clash in a furious battle for supremacy against elite enemy fighters.

And on the ground, Private Patrick "Wink" Goble and his platoon must hold the line against a ruthless enemy commander and her overwhelming force of battle-tested mechs until salvation arrives.

All will play their part in this desperate struggle for survival against impossible odds.

The Great War has begun…

Listen to the epic new military science fiction series from Ralph Kern, the best-selling author of the Locus series.

WORLD WAR 2 IN SPACE

WAS DISAPOINTED WITH THIS AS I WAS EXPECTING MUCH MORE INVENTION AND ORIGINALITY HAVING READ SEVERAL OF RALPH KERNS PREVIOUS BOOKS.THIS IS BASICALLY THE START OF WORLD WAR 2 SET IN A SPACE CONTEXT IT FOLLOWS THE BASIC STORY THROUGH TO THE END OF THE DUNKIRK EVACUATION.THE CHARACTERISATION IS GOOD BUT IN THIS BOOK THERE ARE NO SURPRISES.THE SAVING GRACE IS THE EXCELLENT NARRATION.IF YOU LIKE MILITARY SCI-FI AND DON'T KNOW THE WORLD WAR 2 STORY YOU SHOULD BE FINE WITH THIS.PERSONALLY SHALL NOT BE BUYING THE NEXT BOOK PLEASE DO BETTER NEXT TIME MR.KERN.

Very poor. Couldn't finish it

This is a very weak military sci FI.
Derivative and badly written. Wasted a few hours on it, just didn't hold my attention. Nothing at all to recommend it.
