What they find is almost impossible to believe. Something shows up in the same system as were the Phage War started and the Icarus is sent to investigate. So, this book is about Senior Captain Wright and the Icarus. Now they were trying to do the same thing to Senior Captain Wright. Some, including Chief of Staff Admiral Marcum wasn’t sad to see Wolfe gone. He had enough of the Confederation politics trying to micromanage starships that were so far away it wasn’t possible to carry on a decent conversation.
While Captain Wolfe actually saved the human civilization by defeating the Phage hive-mind, he also lost his ship, the TCS Ares and was subsequently honored, and then retired. In this series, Senior Captain Celesta Wright, the former XO for Senior Captain Jackson Wolfe, is now commanding the Icarus, a Star-wolf class destroyer. It sure saves time in character building if the characters were built correctly the first time.
I like it when authors carry over characters from one set of books to another. Some of the same characters are in this new series, and some with greatly expanded roles. This one starts after the Phage War we read about in that other series I mentioned. Here he starts a new series slightly based on another of his trilogies, The Black Fleet Trilogy. He’s got this Omega Force series that I’ve been working on and I’m up to the fifth book in that series. I am reading a lot of Joshua Dalzelle’s books lately. New Frontiers is the first book of the Expansion Wars Trilogy, an all new adventure in the Black Fleet universe. A partnership with this new species could help accelerate the recovery effort, but is the offer too good to be true? Can humanity risk another fight with an advanced alien species right on the heels of the bloodiest war that had ever been waged? One species comes with an offer of friendship and alliance, but humanity is weary and distrustful, their only interactions with aliens having resulted in the near-eradication of their kind.īefore the ashes of war have been fully swept away Captain Celesta Wright is dispatched to the Frontier with a small taskforce to investigate a mysterious signal while the Confederacy struggles to hold itself together. and they've been watching the conflict with great interest. They soon learn that there are other stellar neighbors. There is nothing to celebrate, even after such a complete victory. Political alliances are crumbling and their mighty fleet is in tatters.
Even with the destruction of their terrifying, implacable foe, humanity is still reeling.
The Phage War had been a devastating conflict for the Terran Confederacy.
