Summary
Upon the ancient drysine moon/city of Defiance, the UFS Phoenix is being rebuilt, but her crew cannot do so in peace. Parren factions jostle for control of not only Defiance, but of the drysine data-core that Phoenix won at such an awful price. But the parren do not lay sole claim to that ancient knowledge, and within the bowels of the machine-city, something long-dead is awakening.
While aliens battle, Captain Debogande struggles to decide his next step. Human emissaries beckon him home, while a terrible new threat drives him toward the far edge of Spiral space. There live the croma, locked in a titanic struggle against the reeh, a species more terrifying than any yet faced by humanity. And holding perhaps the key to humanity’s salvation are a small force of freedom fighters, waging a hopeless battle against impossible odds, having waited a thousand years for just such a saviour as the UFS Phoenix....

Also this work has faster pacing than previous books. I like it like this, more fluid.

too political
I felt this was the build up to a new story I hope. I felt like I was listening to a foreign office discussion

Truly Awesome!
The series just keeps getting better and better!
Joel Shepherd is a true master of Science Fiction. While John Lee, provides the perfect narration. I can't praise this series highly enough!

The Plot Spirals Thickly
Another amazing book from Joel Shepherd. As galactic empires clash, starship Phoenix and her crew continue to try out manoeuvre the threat to humanity from cold genocidal AIs and their allies. Unwillingly they become political pawns of older galactic races in their own internal conflicts, can't wait for the next one.

Great stuff
This series improves as it goes along. Very entertaining. The main characters are developing nicely as the main story line continues its interesting arc.

Brilliant SF - Can’t wait for book 6
Looking for a new SF author, look no further than Joel Shepherd
John Lee excels himself with a huge range of voices for characters
So much material for Joel to explore in future books within the Spiral
Download Book 1 and enjoy!!!

Love, love, love this series and its narration!
Book 2 was a bit slow but other than that this is a solid sci fi series and I am loving the journey. Lots of characters to adore and hate and all of them brought to life with John Lee's narration (although once or twice I noticed he used a different accent for Lt. Dale but given the amount of character voices he does superbly I'll allow it!). On to the next one :)

The Saga Continues
This is probably the weakest of the current five volumes regarding the UFS Phoenix but it certainly sets out an exciting path for the books to come. Narrator John Lee is, as always, supremely adept at bringing a tale to life.
