Al een tijdje geleden gelezen, maar ik vind het echt een vette novel. Is een trilogy, ben nu bezig aan het 2de boek:

> The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce-- and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding.

Eerste boek gelezen 👍

Very entertaining, geweldige read, zeker op reis (waar ik probeer mijn brein entertained te houden met fictie). Bedankt voor de recommendation!

Hoe lezen de andere twee?
