This is a solid, fun military space opera with a great main character and surprisingly thoughtful themes on the ethics of fighting a proxy war. A great way to fill the Mass Effect or Battlestar Galactica shaped hole in your heart!

A military ship is shot down during a diplomatic meeting and the crew has to work together to survive attacks from hostile lizard folk.
💕 For readers looking for 💕: military drama, sci-fi, survival, alien alliance, delicate diplomatic situations.
💠My thoughts ðŸ’: I thought this was a fun read. I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi or military dramas, but I enjoyed this. It was also fun seeing how the different alien species interacted with one another.
