Shattered Spear

Written by Jack Campbell

Narrated by Marc Vietor

The New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Fleet series returns to the epic space saga of a rebellion against a totalitarian regime, and the determination of two people to create a better future in the farthest reaches of the colonized galaxy …

The Syndicate Worlds continues to splinter as more star systems pledge allegiance to President Gwen Iceni’s and General Artur Drakon’s new government at Midway. But the rebels fleeing the toxic legacy of Syndicate rule have difficulty trusting one another and believing their new leaders’ promises of freedom from tyranny.

Before Iceni and Drakon can put their house in order, they must deal with another threat. An enigma warship has appeared and vanished near a Syndic colony. If the aliens are capable of jumping into other human-occupied star systems, then billions of people could be vulnerable to a hostile invasion fleet anywhere it chooses to strike.

But an even greater liability lies with Iceni and Drakon as a once-trusted adviser turned saboteur plans revenge …

Reviews for Shattered Spear

[Vernon Jones, Jr. · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Good story and characters that pull you into the story and make you want more.

[iftyzaidi · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A worthy and highly enjoyable finale to the Lost Stars spinoff series. Campbell wraps up the series neatly while at the same time leaving plenty of room for future development. I guess one could make the criticism that not a whole lot changes from the start to the finish of the series in terms of the fledgling Midway system and where its at in terms of surviving the threat of the collapsing-but-still-around Syndicate and the alien threat of the Enigmas. But there are some entertaining adventures along the way. Its recommended for those who enjoyed the Lost Fleet books and wanted more in the same vein.

A good entry in this quite entertaining series. Iceni and Drakon, former Syndicate CEOs continue their work in creating new model worlds from those that have escaped from Syndic dominance. New allies are sought and the Enigma's expansion creates a curious four-way battle. A good tactical adjunct to the larger Black Jack and the Alliance issues.
