Under Siege (The Last Hunter Book 11)
£4.85
Admiral Jack Romanoff and his crew have one remaining nut to crack before they can turn their attention to the people that overthrew the Confederation. The Vesuvius system has become a fortress, so it won’t be an easy fight, but it is one they cannot lose and survive.
When force alone won’t do the trick, add guile.
Since brute force won’t work, Jack must turn to guile to exploit the enemy’s weaknesses. Only then can he achieve victory without a tremendous loss of human life. And that’s before an unexpected complication threatens to undo everything they’ve accomplished and plunge the cluster back into brutal war with an enemy determined to exterminate or enslave them.
Confronted by stronger enemies, Jack has to turn their strength against them. Somehow.

Admiral Jack Romanoff has to defeat the main Novarite forces in the Vesuvius system, before even more of the humans are killed by the invaders, but the aliens have superior space forces, as well as considerable ground forces. However, there is another player – a fleet of ships from the kingdom, another human polity unaware of the Confederation, but also at war with the aliens, has followed the Novarites to Vesuvius.
It will take Jack considerable efforts to get the disparate human forces to partially defeat the aliens, but then it all goes in the pot as black treachery divides the kingdom’s fleet. The planet is still occupied by alien ground forces as this instalment ends.

My review of book 10 included my conclusion that the series should end soon as the Lisa Ganes magical mystery tour was getting tiresome. This book was a different kettle of fish. Top league space opera with monstrous baddies, over-whelming odds, sneaking invisible spies and treacherous humans. Coupled with some useful anti-matter warheads and you have a blistering storyline. Which is worse? The ruthless and merciless alien invaders or the back stabbing treacherous humans?
Read, immerse and enjoy.

This up there with the top series I have ever read. Compelling story arcs but avoiding the teap of becoming overpowered (even 11 books in). The characters are excellent and continue to develop. Really excellent!
