United Fleet

The Stardock Trilogy, Book 2

By: Sean Fenian

Narrated by: Michael Karl Orenstein

Four months ago, the Crickets—the Chhrt'ktk't, in their own language—had abandoned a mobile shipyard with a burned-out hyperdrive core in Sol system as a decoy.

They hadn't told humanity about the decoy part. Then they picked Alex Holder to operate it, simply because he happened to be the first human they found who could—because that would make it a better decoy.

In perhaps as little as five years, the Khreetan will be coming. The Crickets hadn't intended for humanity to know that, either.

Alex has those five years to build a defensive fleet from the spines out, recruit crews for his ships, and find enough humans who can reach full rapport with Cricket tech to command and control them—and get all of them trained to work together despite their national differences. All this while he tries to share the Crickets' scientific knowledge, distribute their technology where it is most desperately needed, and somehow still keep the peace.

Fortunately, he has help and is beginning to find more people who can fully link with Chhrt'ktk't technology.

But will it be enough?

Story and characters!

Enjoyed the book hope to hear the next book in series good story line may you finish it soon !

current geopolitical situation

I liked it's frankness. spoke the truth to power. didn't lie to make people comfortable

great story line.

the end sucks. climate change and fossil fuels. some might give a hoot about they them, not my perogative.

Can get heavy on the political side

It’s an ok book fairly bog standard aliens give big bad ship to random nobody how is altruistic. The main caricature shoe horns in the right political opinion fairly often and is somewhat off putting as I brakes the suspicion of disbelief.

good story line but way to woke

decent story but the author woke view are very overbearing, and the addition of little woke preach stories take away from the enjoyment
