Fantastyka i SciFi
The second book in the epic saga of humankind's war of transcendence
In the evolution of every sentient race, there is a turning point when the species achieves transcendence through technology.
The warlike Sh’daar are determined that this monumental milestone will never be achieved by the creatures known as human.
On the far side of known human space, the Marines are under siege, battling the relentless servant races of the Sh'daar aggressor. With a task force stripped to the bone and the Terran Confederation of States racked by dissent, rogue Admiral Alexander Koenig must make the momentous decision that will seal his fate and the fate of humankind.
A strong defensive posture is futile, so Koenig will seize the initiative and turn the gargantuan Star Carrier America toward the unknown. For the element of surprise is the only hope of stalling the Sh'daar assault on Earth's solar system—and the war for humankind's survival must be taken directly to the enemy.

I did not finish the book because of scientific concepts being retalked/explained in what seems like word to word from first volume time and time over. This felt like filler, and a very bad one. I read the book few years ago and stopped on second volume because of the same reason. I imagine a hard sci fi reader as a person who pays attention and does not need reminding book fundamentals every volume. I am very sorry that it turned me away like that for the second time, because militatistic part was excellent and not artificially filled with content. Editor did not do a good job here I am afraid. Book lost a lot.
