\n\"When<\/a><\/div>\n

It\u2019s the year 2236, and humanity can\u2019t catch a break.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re licking our wounds from a bloody civil war, two alien armadas stumble into the Solar System fighting one of their own. At odds are the fearsome Boxti Horde and their ancient enemies, the Nangolani.<\/p>\n

Naturally, we can\u2019t resist picking sides and joining the fight, but after several crushing defeats, we\u2019re forced to open Pandora\u2019s Box to win the war: A top-secret special forces program.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a hotshot starfighter has his mettle tested when the war separates him from his best friend and favorite wingman.<\/p>\n

Tech-savvy and full of action, humor, and intrigue, When The Stars Fade is the first in a six-book series, The Gray Wars.<\/p>\n

———–<\/p>\n

The Good:<\/b>
\nI have to say that Adam Korenman knows how to build a world that’s familiar and yet strange at the same time. There are touching moments, a lot of action, and the book doesn’t stop until it’s done.<\/p>\n

The Bad:<\/b>
\nThere are a lot of characters and it can be overwhelming to keep track of them. The book also starts out a bit rough, but by the time you’re less than a third of the way through, it pulls together.<\/p>\n

The Summary:<\/b>
\nIf you enjoy military based books, this could certainly be one that pulls you in. This book was first released in 2013 and since then only one other book in the series has been published (2017). That makes me a little nervous for how long it will be before all 6 books in the series will be completed. Still, it’s a good read and one that, even though military books aren’t my thing, I ended up enjoying.<\/p>\n
