Warpath

War for Empire, Book 2

By: Chris Pourteau

Narrated by: Garrett Michael Brown

Powers! Politics! Pirates! Ben Stone just wanted to get rich....

Three years after Alice Keller is safely hidden away on Tarsus Station, Andre Korsakov is being pressured to weaponize her psychokinetic powers. But at 17, Alice is more concerned with boys and belonging than controlling objects with her mind.

In the Sirius star system, newly minted Captain Ben Stone and his Drop Marines reclaim Canis III, abandoned half a century earlier after the Specter War. Recolonizing the planet will set the political stage for launching President Piers Bragg’s new war with the Arcœnum. But sabotage in the camp murders Marines, and a deadly game of cat and mouse ignites planetside.

Meanwhile, Communications Director Eva Park has spent the last three years of the Bragg Administration yanking the president’s fat from more fires than she can count. When pirates steal material vital to Bragg’s war plans, Eva’s sent to parlay for their safe return—and comes face-to-face with a choice of destinies....

War is coming. And no one is prepared for the cost....

The Expanse meets Star Trek in book two of this military science-fiction epic from award-winning author Chris Pourteau. How many times can we forget the lessons of history before history decides to forget us?

Great sequel

This is the second book and I’m enjoying the characters in the book. The narration is very well done. I’m going to start the next one immediately.
