Summary
Humans are caught up in an alien war in this epic from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Trek Into Darkness.
For millennia, the Weave, an alliance of species, have fought to resist the telepathic Amplitur, who strive to unite all self-aware life-forms in their great "Purpose." The Weave is slowly losing ground, but for both sides, warfare focuses more on outthinking and outmaneuvering your foe than destruction. In fact, most regard violence as hideously barbaric, and even the thought of harming another sentient being is beyond imagining.
Then they come to Earth . . .
A Call to Arms
When one of its scout ships lands on Earth, the Weave quickly realizes that humanity's almost innate ability to wreak havoc and death may hold the key to turning the tide in their fight. Unfortunately for all, the Amplitur have the same idea—and mankind is caught in the middle.
The False Mirror
When the Amplitur unleash an elite cadre of fighters, it soon becomes clear that they have subjected their human prisoners to horrific genetic manipulation. But if the Weave attempts to undo the effects, they may change the former warriors into something far, far worse.
The Spoils of War
With mankind's help, the Weave is finally on the verge of victory against the Amplitur. Until an alien scholar uncovers a terrifying truth: Earthlings might not even be capable of being civilized—and a shadowy group of powerful humans is already poised to unleash war across the entire galaxy.

very good sci-fi
This series initially got me in to sci-fi when I was in my early teens. Great story, My friends enjoyed also.
Now, as a science fiction veteran, I have re-listened and still greatly enjoy. I also enjoy Iain M banks, Peter F Hamilton etc.

Disappointing
I had high hopes for this trilogy having enjoyed the Flinx and Humanx novels, but for me that sadly wasn't to be.
I found the main human character irritating and unrealistic, a purported musician who kept claiming that humans weren't interested in fighting at all, thereby ignoring all of human history, but my main issue was that nothing really happened for page after page after page, it got to the stage where I was listening to see if there was any action which only really seemed to happen for a short while towards the end of A call to Arms. When I got into False Mirror it was more of the same at which point I gave up.
The narrator was great, but the stories are longwinded
