    About this audiobook

    Humankind may have won the battle, but a new threat looms larger than ever before…

    Earth’s armed forces have stopped the Lanky advance and chased their ships out of the solar system, but for CDC officer Andrew Grayson, the war feels anything but won. On Mars, the grinding duty of flushing out the twenty-meter-tall alien invaders from their burrows underground is wearing down troops and equipment at an alarming rate. And for the remaining extrasolar colonies, the threat of a Lanky attack is ever present.

    Earth’s game changer? New advanced ships and weapons, designed to hunt and kill Lankies and place humanity’s militaries on equal footing with their formidable foes. Andrew and his wife, Halley, both now burdened with command responsibilities and in charge of more lives than just their own, are once again in humanity’s vanguard as they prepare for this new phase in the war. But the Lankies have their own agenda…and in war, the enemy doesn’t usually wait until you are prepared. As Andrew is once again plunged into the chaos and violence of war with an unyielding species, he is forced to confront the toll this endless conflict is taking on them all, and the high price of survival…at any cost.

      The best Military Sci-fi I’ve read. Characters are well written and constant action. Also the narrator on the audio book (Luke Daniels) is the best. Read it you won’t be sorry.

      Series is running out of ideas. Time to end it

      It's good genre even if it's not great fiction. I would like more depth and realism for the characters (not buying all the lucky coincidences). Still enjoyed though.

      The persons Responsible for reviewing the book failed in that the commanding officer took his weapon that have been given to him by the Lazarus brigade, and put it on her shelf, but then he carried it down to the surface for battle.

      Great series, but I was hoping this volume would end the series, as it does seem to be running low on new ideas.
