I’m a fan of military sci-fi and M R Forbes delivers. Developed characters, all deeply flawed, thrust into a hopeless situation, and the fate of all humanity in the balance. All the elements of truly great sci-fi are here.

Ares is a engaging soldier with a problem. Everyone believes he’s a hero. He might even be okay with that, if it wasn’t all a lie. He plays the part because his superior officers need a poster boy. There’s a war on, and recruitment needs the boost.

Deep in interstellar space, a malignant intelligence awaits. It has only one goal, exterminate humanity.

Fast paced, non-stop thrills, I’ve read through three of the six books. I’d say more, but it’s early in the morning and I need to work tomorrow!
