There is a war going on and there always seems to be people getting bit, ate, throwing up, yelling, cursing and what not, but it makes for a good story. There are radicals and humans and human things and stuff. There are some cannibal people things that were quite disturbing at times. The book has plenty of blood and guts too, let me tell you! I mean that's fine with me, I'm just sayin' for those that don't like that kind of thing. They pretty much all come together in the book when they have to fight for their lives and such. This is what threw me off as I wanted to get to know the first group. There are five groups of individuals that are going through one thing or another. That being said, I'm not one hundred percent sure of things that happened, but I got the jist of it and started to love it. There were so many people in the book, I thought I would never get what was going on. At first I couldn't get into the book and to be honest I think it was my mood and not the book. This is what th I love space operas, space books of all sorts so I jumped at the chance to read The Cruel Stars.

I love space operas, space books of all sorts so I jumped at the chance to read The Cruel Stars. For if they fail, the future itself is doomed.more These five flawed, reluctant heroes must band together to prevail against a relentless enemy and near-impossible odds. And, finally, Admiral Frazer McLennan, the infamous hero of the first war with the Sturm hundreds of years ago, who hopes to rout his old foes once and for all-or die trying. Sephina L’trel, the leader of an outlaw band who must call on all of her criminal skills to resist the invasion. Princess Alessia, a young royal of the Montanblanc Corporation, forced to flee when her home planet is overrun and her entire family executed. Booker3, a soldier of Earth, sentenced to die for treason, whose time on death row is cut short when the Sturm attack his prison compound. Now on the brink of annihilation, humankind’s only hope is a few brave souls who survived the initial attack: Commander Lucinda Hardy, thrust into uncertain command of the Royal Armadalen Navy’s only surviving warship.

The enemy has returned and, with a brutal and decisive attack, knocks out almost all of humanity’s defenses. Everyone believed the Sturm had died out in the Dark. Fashioning themselves as the one true “Human Republic,” the Sturm cut a bloody swath across the stars, killing billions before finally being defeated and driven into the far reaches of Dark Space. The galaxy was once terrorized by the Sturm, a group of “species purists” intent on destroying any human with genetic or cybernetic enhancements. “This jarring, engrossing story of a species-wide fight for survival is recommended for all science fiction readers.”-Publishers Weekly (starred review) In this epic sci-fi adventure for fans of The Expanse and Battlestar Galactica, five intrepid heroes must unite to save civilization after a long-dormant enemy awakens and strikes a devastating blow “This jarring, engrossing story of a species-wide fight for survival is recommended for all science fiction readers.”-Publishers Weekly (starred review) The galaxy was once terro In this epic sci-fi adventure for fans of The Expanse and Battlestar Galactica, five intrepid heroes must unite to save civilization after a long-dormant enemy awakens and strikes a devastating blow
