Summary
The ends justify the means - except when humanity’s survival is on the line.
Earth’s landscape lies scorched by weapons fire after the most recent round of alien attacks. The technology the Mozari left behind has advanced scientific understanding at breakneck speeds, giving humanity the chance to fight back against their Gresian foes. Spaceworthy vessels and all-new weaponry are pumped out of orbiting factories, boarded by the brightest minds to begin colonizing new planets.
But humanity is still vulnerable.
Lieutenant Daniel West understands this, which is why his recruits are the most highly trained the military puts out - regardless of the physical and mental demand it takes to make them that way. Any soldier in the newly created Special Warfare Task Force must plan and prepare for every possible scenario.
After all, the return of the Gresians isn’t just inevitable. It’s imminent.
Now assigned to the United Earth Ship Shenzhen, Daniel is chosen to command a platoon to protect a team of elite colonists traveling to LTT-8270. But it isn’t until their arrival that the true mission becomes evident, and Daniel discovers an even more horrifying truth.
A truth that demands too high a cost for humanity’s future.
This novel contains violence and profanity.

"We aren't bullet proof."
Trojan Colony, second in the series Hammond's Hardcases, continues the story of the Earth versus aliens through the exploits of Daniel West and the Special Warfare Task Force. A group of colonists are escorted to a new potential home, where earlier archaeological traces were discovered. Now newly equipped and trained with Mozari ship drives and exo-suits, thanks to the help of the A.I., the Hardcases have to face not just the Gresians but the betrayal of the military itself.
An interesting story line with a very high percentage of action, the book is well narrated by Andrew Tell, who reads with good intonation and understanding of the text. He also gives individual voicing for the different protagonists. But the delivery is a little slow and, at times, hesitant, but this is resolved by increasing the playback speed to 1.25.
A second story which can still be read as a stand alone, Trojan Colony appeals to the military science fiction reader who enjoys big scale action but also appreciates the ongoing life story of individual protagonists. My thanks to the rights holder who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy.

A slow start with a great finish
The strong finish off the last book overshadows the start of this one a little. However, the strong finish and twist really makes up for it. Again the aliens are kept relatively mysterious, along with the machinations of the Earth governments. I recieved a review copy of the book.

Wow! What an action packed adventure
This is the second book in this so far brilliant trilogy, I really enjoyed book one and hoped that this would be as good and it actually turned out to be even better, much better actually but I can only rate it as five stars. The action flies along at a lightning pace and I just could not stop listening. I enjoyed getting acquainted with the strong characters and I really liked the AI character Lizzie.
As usual the narration by Andrew tell is just top notch.
I highly recommend this book to any Sci-Fi or action adventure fans.
I was given this book to give a an honest and objective review.
