Geschichte
The Merry Band of Pirates offered the bad guys a ceasefire. We won’t mess with them, if they don’t mess with us. Easy, right? No. The aliens chose to do things the hard way. So, the Pirates are racing around the galaxy to clean up the threat to Earth. The infant UN Navy has their own mission with the Alien Legion: Get humanity some allies in the fight. And the Ethics & Compliance Office might have to do something...ethical. Unless they can find a way around it.

The problem with lying about having a super weapon is that the bad guys might believe they have nothing to lose by doing something stupid that both sides will regret. Or, they might just call your bluff. Either way, the Merry Band of Pirates need a plan to deal with the Fallout.

For years, the ancient alien AI known as Skippy (the Magnificent, don’t forget that part) has been able to do one impossible thing after another. What is his secret? It’s simple: 100 percent Grade-A extreme awesomeness. And also because he had never been faced with an opponent of equal power. Until now. This time, he might need a little help from a band of filthy monkeys.

After saving the world many times, the Merry Band of Pirates have accepted the inevitable: Earth is doomed. All they can do is try to bring a few thousand people to safety, before vicious aliens arrive to destroy humanity's home world. No. There is one other thing they can do: hit the enemy so hard that the aliens will regret they ever heard of humans.

After the Renegade mission by the crew of the starship Flying Dutchman, the UN Expeditionary Force thought Earth was safe for hundreds of years, at least. After there was trouble on the home front and the president had to authorize a nuclear strike on an American city, UNEF decided they did need the Merry Band of Pirates again. So, the Flying Dutchman is sent out on a simple recon mission. But for the pirates, nothing is ever simple, and their mission will become Armageddon.

My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

United Nations Special Operations Command sent an elite expeditionary force of soldiers and pilots out on a simple recon mission, and somehow along the way they sparked an alien civil war. Now the not-at-all-merry band of pirates is in desperate trouble, again. Their stolen alien starship is falling apart, thousands of light years from home. The ancient alien AI they nicknamed Skippy is apparently dead, and even if they can by some miracle revive him, he might never be the same.

The mission is simple. Escort an emissary to an intergalactic peace summit. Try not to get in the way. Lt. Magnus and his 79th Recon Team have certainly handled worse, after all. But when an explosion rocks the tower and sends everyone into a panic, Magnus and his asset find themselves cut off from the rest of the team. Worse still, a dying alien chieftain gives them a priceless drive of intel, marking them for death. The mission has officially changed. With enemies on all sides, Magnus must do everything in his power to protect the emissary and escape the tower.

Geschichte

Well ...
It's a cool story. Suspense - good. Characters - mostly likeable. Story - great, if sometimes repetitive.
The Expeditionary Force books are all really great, so I hope that this assessment will be seen as a hint about something that could be changed in order to improve the series.
When listening to the conversation between e.g. Bishop and Adams or Bishop and the Bürgermeister, I wonder: Has Craig Alanson ever met people?
Nobody is this ungrateful, cynical and disbelieving. The same goes for the other pirates and representatives of the UN. Almost every major character seems to be the simulation of a human being seen from the perspective of a misanthropist. Take Margaret Adams for example, who has to mention always, to everyone and in every situation that she's a Marine and treats Bishop with a lack of care and respect that none of the people I know would ever tolerate.
Oddly enough, the characters from the Mavericks series are in contrast acting like mentally stable and fully functional human beings, except for the Ruhar and Kristang, who are acting like mentally stable and fully functional alien beings.
To summarize, the story is great and Alanson has a way of describing the world of Expeditionary Force that is really captivating. The characters though are not acting like real people, which gets increasingly annoying with every new book.

I guess it had to happen
After ten books in this series where you could not put the book down I almost gave up on this one. The Story drags on for almost 2/3 of the book before starting to get going and is then suddenly over. What a disappointment. That said, I can't wait for book 12 whilst hoping it will be a little more stunning like the earlier books.

A very well made interlude
Humanity is safe from extinction and Joe Bishop is a hero.
That's great but that's not much of a story. So Craig Alanson does the only thing that makes sense in this situation. He writes a book that tells a satisfactory ending to the sneaking-around-in-the-galaxy story, that also assigns new roles for the known characters, that introduces new villains and that kicks off a new saga. One in which humanity has a different role and new kinds of problems.
This book is very well written, the story is different but familiar and it has an unusual pacing compared to the other books in the series. The story slows down for a large part of the book. The entire middle of the book is slow but that's a good thing. It's necessary for the series and it is very satisfying.
This is one of my favorite books of the series.
