About this ebook

The fifth book in the epic saga of humankind's war of transcendence...

An enemy might just have to become an ally . . . in order to save humankind

The United States of North America is now engaged in a civil war with the Earth Confederation, which wants to yield to the demands of the alien Sh'daar, limit human technology, and become a part of the Sh'daar Galactic Collective. USNA President Koenig believes that surrendering to the Sh'daar will ultimately doom humankind.

But when highly advanced, seemingly godlike aliens appear through an artificial wormhole in the Omega Centauri Cluster 16,000 light years from Earth, President Koenig is faced with a tremendous choice: continue fighting the Sh'daar . . . or ally with them against the newcomers in a final war that will settle the fate of more than one universe.

Ratings and reviews

Repeat repeat repeat. Describing similarities with sea faring navies again & again. I don't think I'll be reading the next book as I'll be reading all the same repeats again & again & again & again & again. The positive is that the book is small. 200 pages.

Love this book like the rest in the series but compare to other book in series this one is too short, too much over thinking

Good read but why is the book only 213 pages long when states its 400 pages on google play?
