Geschichte
The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the Native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Geschichte
The human soldiers stranded on the planet Paradise have been recruited into an alien legion to do the dirty jobs that the high-tech species won't do. Their first mission is to kick the enemy off a backwater planet no one cares about. It's a simple assignment, except everyone has a hidden agenda, and the planet could become a deathtrap.

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
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

War heroes aren't usually called out of semi-retirement and sent to the far reaches of the galaxy for a routine investigation. So when Colonel Carl Butler answers the call from an old and powerful friend, he knows it's something big - and he's not being told the whole story. A high councilor's son has gone MIA out of Cappa Base, the space station orbiting a battle-ravaged planet. The young lieutenant had been wounded and evacuated - but there's no record of him having ever arrived at hospital command.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

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.

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.
