Behold: Humanity!

Victory or Death

By: Ralts Bloodthorne

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Confederacy/Council Conflict has been interrupted by the return of the vile Atrekna, who view the entire universe as nothing more than resources for their own people to collect. The Lanaktallan cannot withstand the Confederacy military forces, the Precursor Autonomous War Machines, or the Atrekna's biological war systems and are on the edge of collapse. The Confederacy has been caught in between maneuvers, with its most powerful units out of position. The Atrekna are everywhere, overrunning world after world.

Lowly gunner Ha'almo'or finds himself thrust into a desperate situation that will test his mettle in ways he could have never imagined. Vuxten has found himself, once again, trapped below ground while his command worries he's going to blow apart part of the continent. The Night Terran continues to terrorize the Lanaktallan politicians, embarrassing the Terran Confederacy of Aligned Planets. Dreams of Something More discovers the terrible truth of the past. P'Thok returns as he faces off against the terrible Grunch and totally on purpose and not at all accidentally saves Christmas.

For the natives of the Cygnus-Orion Galactic Arm Spur there are only two choices.

Victory or Death.

Weakest so far

This one had a voice that was not as easy to listen to. The narration is the weakest so far and this is the third or fourth virtual voice that has been used in this series. I don't mind the virtual voices too much except for this one.

The story in this book was the hardest to follow along and it was more disjointed and had some repeat chapters of the previous book and some chronological errors as well.

I hope they either improve or at least match the quality of the previous books in the rest of the series.

Editing errors.

There are more than the usual annoyances/errors in this the tenth VV narrated book in this series. Like a fully repeated chapter from a previous book for one, I think it was the entirety of Chapter 7. Along with other chronological issues and the regular errors. Even if the VV programming gets better to the point that it reads things correctly it would still need a flawless text to read from.
Also for some reason, the Virtual Voice used for this the tenth book is modelled on a different narrator, for the second time between books 1-10. A female voice at that.. I have no idea why there would be a shift at all. Its Virtual Voice so.. odd.
