Simply incredible world building and many different memorable characters, the characters all stick in the mind and it's easy to follow the in universe jumps. The way that the Omni Union shifts from a faceless and nearly all-powerful enemy to something more human and complex is simply wonderful. 10/5 would recommend

This story, like its predecessor, is a great military scifi. It has solid world building, a variety of short and long term characters, and a cohesive plot. There's enough world building and character moments that it qualifies as a scifi story in a military setting, not simply the other way around. Definitely worth the time to read and enjoy.

So, this is the third book and the final installation of the series. I believe that The New Species and The New Threat were the others. This picks up where the second book left off.
The fate of the entire universe is at stake. Intelligent life across multiple galaxies are being eradicated by an uncaring collective bent on a singular goal: building a vessel that can house it's entire populace while on a journey outside of the known universe. There's more to it, we find out, but I don't want to spoil anything.
This story has multiple points of view with unique and fun characters. Omega is the star of the show as the clone happy overpowered AI determined to keep humanity upright and kicking. The Marine viewpoint is also a highlight. We even get quite a few alien viewpoints, some of them working with the humans to eradicate the threat, as well as some of the aliens stuck in the vessel at the mercy of the enemy collective.
The story is a highly entertaining yarn that also delves into aspects of sentience and what it means to be human (or alien).
I don't think that I have noticed any grammatical errors, but if I have they are few and far between.

★★★ 3.0

The characters, world-building, and individual storylines are great, but the plot as a whole suffers. While the story follows the premise of the enemy's lacking technology, for reasons explained, their prowess is nonetheless is completely undermined and all too easily by a system far younger, with but a simple stealth ship and a few engagements on their primary base. The plot builds the antagonists up to be incredibly powerful, only for everything to be immediately nullified
mostly by the analysis from a single stealth ship, and a single AI flexing its processing power over the whole vessel.
And that was it. The conclusion wasn't clever, but a raw technological overpowering of an enemy that's very conveniently crippled for its age, even if the reasoning is (weakly, imo) explained.
