Summary

First contact gone wrong....

It was every starship captain’s nightmare, and for Travis Miller, it was his own personal hell.

He’d done everything by the book, but when the Tahni had attacked him and his crew, there was no choice but to return fire and destroy the first alien vessel humans had ever encountered.

Excoriated in the press, his career in shambles, Travis is exiled to a long patrol of the outer colony worlds. Forgotten, except as a bad example...until the Tahni prove him right by declaring war on the human commonwealth.

Now, Travis Miller is the tip of the spear. Humanity’s best hope for turning back an overwhelming assault on human space. Because to the Tahni, humans are infidels and this is a holy war....

Don’t miss the next explosive series from the number-one Amazon best-selling author of Contact Front, Rick Partlow. This is military sci-fi the way it’s meant to be. It’s perfect for fans of Jay Allan, Jasper T. Scott, and Scott Bartlett.

A Brilliant Start

This was a very good start to the story and I hope it continues in the next books. Keeps you guessing and engaged.
Very good narrator too.

A good listen

A good take on realistic physics space opera, mixed with good character developments. I liked the fairly fast paced battle scenes not too flowery.

Undiscovered gem

This book is amazing and the best thing I have found on audible so far. The first contact story is similar to prometheus but still original. Epic world building adventure!

Eminently readable

Don’t pick Partlow if you want Heinlein.

A good space opera with guns and aliens. Nicely written and nicely read pulp.
