A decent, but not great space opera. Aliens have invaded the solar system and the humans are fighting back. Unfortunately the aliens control Earth, making it difficult, but the humans persevere. That reminds me of the plot of Battlefield Earth, which is never a good thing. There are some good characters here and a real space opera feel, but the action is a bit simple and the aliens are total cardboard cutouts.

Simply outstanding...

Great characters, interesting premise, and well written. I'm always excited to find a new author to follow and Webb just became the newest.

Fun read. Webb weaves a thrilling and entertaining Military Space Adventure that meets all the standard expectations and provides some powerful emotional scenes as well. The only reason that I couldn't give it five stars was that I did see a couple of the plot twists coming, but that could just be me. Sets the framework for an intriguing conspiracy in later books. Overall, an enjoyable piece of Space Opera escapism that I plan on returning to with the later books.

This book is Book 2 of The Legacy Fleet Trilogy. It continues the saga of Captain Granger - this time in charge of another one of the outdated starships of the Legacy Fleet, The Warrior, after his previous ship, The Constitution, is rebuilt following the massive damage it suffered. This time Granger goes after the enemy, taking the fight to systems they control. But the familiar carnage ensues from anything Granger touches. This book continues the tradition of great battles in space. I give it 4 stars out of 5.

This book is Book 1 of The Legacy Fleet Trilogy. A disgraced starship captain is put in charge of an outdated starship. But when an enemy form the past returns and destroys Earth’s fleet, the future of the solar system lies in the hands of one man and his forgotten rust bucket that somehow manages to resist the enemy. This book and its sequel are great reads for anyone who likes Star Trek, Star Wars and many other similar space epics. I give it 4 stars out of 5.

good world building - nicely alien aliens (so far) - good character development - nicely structured military sacrifice - realistic view of politics and its pitfalls. However I am not connecting with the characters.
