By Force of Arms
In this military science fiction series, of which this is book four, we have the legendary Legionnaires as our protagonists.The Thraki have just entered confederacy space and have asked permission to settle on some planets in the area. Seems like a reasonable request. Unfortunately, the Thraki don't really tell the confederacy why they have moved into their space.They are being chased by a fleet of 5000 warships called the Sheen because of their ships shield configuration. The Sheen fleet is controlled by the Hoon which is a machine intelligence. The Hoon has one goal , eliminate all the Thraki.Soon the Sheen fleet approaches the confederacy and the confederacy must decide to help defend the Thraki or stand down. The only problem is that after the Sheen eliminate the Thraki they just may do the same to the confederacy fleet. PLUS the Thraki may have other options and strategies the confederacy may not be aware of.Thrilling space battles and a real twist at the end make this a book you can't put down.
