Summary
Sam Bitka, a naval reserve officer, is recalled to wartime service and soon earns a reputation for aggressive tactics and insufficient deference to his academy-graduated superiors. His latest run-in with authority earns him a transfer to command of an armed transport, USS Cam Ranh Bay.
When a mysterious alien probe materializes from Jump Space and remotely reprograms The Bay's star drive, Sam and his crew begin an involuntary voyage that takes them three thousand light years out of known space, across the galactic rift to the Sagittarius Spiral Arm, and into the heart of an ancient, previously unknown civilization - the first encountered by Humans and the other five races of the Cottohazz-Stellar Commonwealth - in over a century. The genetically altered immortals known as the Guardians, a race so old they do not remember their own origins, soon turn murderously violent.
Now Sam and his crew must elude capture by the Guardians, find some means of reprograming their own star drive, and then return to the Cottohazz with the news of a powerful new civilization bent on their destruction. But they may also be carrying the secrets of the origin of their own star drive and of the path to immortality.

An easy but worthwhile read. No pretensions.
I enjoyed the 1st book and absolutely enjoyed this one.
Would heartily recommend both.

Just WOW
what a worthy sequel! The story from the 1. book, creating a hero, continues in a very formidable way to create a superhero out of Sam Bitka.
The characters we meet are formidable, the plot is fascinating and the narration is very very good.
I'm really fascinated by the writer's imagination and his method to tell the story. just WOW!

Couldn’t stop, just had to get to the end
I enjoyed the first book, this one was even better. Very inventive, extended the story and characters with the same depth and fast action. Daniel Thomas May was extraordinary with his voices, I had to check he was the only narrator, not only the variation in tone etc. but also speed of reading which was very effective. The voices for the different aliens was sublime, might check his other work like I do with RC Bray. I think there might be another in the series, I hope so. Highly recommended.

Guardians
This was a really good story quite different to my usual likes. But weird powerful guardians made it more than interesting enough. Liked the idea of living technology as well

Great book
Brilliant series, the one thing that annoyed me was that there were so many loose ends.
