Synopsis:
Captain Jackson Wolfe is an Earther, a drunk and the only half-decent "warrior" aboard the last of 4 Warships remaining to humanity.
On the last mission of the ship, engineered to destroy Wolfe's career, they come across obliterated planets. Against orders, surviving mutiny and with a secret helper from the Spooks, Wolfe is determined to find out who did this to humanity and to make sure we are ready to fight back.

My Thoughts:
This started out kind of rough, with the author giving all sorts of immaterial descriptions and stuff that didn't really add to the plot. It was typical indie writing and I was getting all set to blast it.

Then it seemed like the author switched gears or something because things just smoothed out. I don't know if it was because we got into the action scenes or this was of particular interest to the author, but it suddenly was something that I wanted to read.

In some ways, this reminded me of most of the other kind of Indy military SFF I've read before. But I like that kind of stuff, so that didn't bother me. But if you're looking for something new, bold and brash, this isn't it.
