4.5 out of 5 stars 338 ratings

The Battlecruiser Alamo has struck a crippling blow to the Cabal Fleet, and can at last start on its long voyage home to the Triplanetary Confederation. For its commander, Lieutenant-Captain Daniel Marshall, there remains a piece of unfinished business, however. Twelve of his people, captured in battle, now held deep inside enemy territory. Mustering a volunteer crew on a stolen starship, he launches a covert operation deep behind the lines in a desperate bid to rescue his crewmen, no matter what the cost.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Finally going home?
    Reviewed in Germany on March 5, 2015
    After such a long Odysee I was hoping our heroes would get a well deserved breather here, but it seems, cruel Mr. Tongue has other ideas. It's high time though. Let them get home in the next installment and start off from there.
    Readers beware: This is part 8 of the series, don't bother reading unless you've read the books before this one.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Saga Gets Better!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2015
    One or two typos don't spoil a fast moving storyline with great drama and well described excitement. Some of the scenarios would have benefited from more description which would have heightened the reader's enjoyment. Looking forward to the next instalment -
