Summary

The Xaros broke against Earth's defenses, but the war may be lost.

The alien ships of former allies rule Earth's skies, threatening to obliterate cities and turn the planet into a barren wasteland if humanity refuses their demands.

With their backs to the wall, the scattered crew of the Breitenfeld must work together to foil the enemy's plan before time runs out.

The path to freedom leads through The Crucible.

love these books more each time

again still #TeamStandish this guy is a very important comic relief in this book and I love how the earth just keeps on keeping on against all adversity. poor Elias this time I miss her too buddy.
Hale dodges so many bullets it's not even funny. the amount of time the shot is just above his head or where he was standing a minute ago...

loved it

No spoilers but more twists are on their way!
Another great listen, as always!
Bit sad, the end of the saga is near but keen to see how it ends after following all the characters from the start.

Still not Tiring

Any additional comments?

This continues to hold my imagination even at book 8, so I cant wait to get my hands on Book 9. I can see this series making films.
