The Confederation has made a serious mistake. They knew war was coming with the Union star clusters but they grossly underestimated the strength of the Union star fleet. They go into battle with better pilots and fighters but they are seriously out numbered.Meanwhile Captain Tyler Barron is struggling to get his massive flagship repaired after a victorious but costly battle with a single invading battle ship that was testing the fighting ability of the Confederation. His ship’s victory over the invader saved the Confederation from fighting a massive war on two fronts. Now he must get his damaged ship repaired and to the front to fight a desperate battle to turn the invaders around and to totally defeat them or his Confederation of planets face death and destruction while being conquered.
As they arrive at the front they realize the fight is more desperate than they imagined and the Confederation is already almost nearly defeated. Captain Barron thinks he sees a way to possibly save the Confederation but it a risky and dangerous decision. He sees no other alternative so he has to risk his ship and all of the crew in the effort to win……
Jay Allen is one of the best new Sci-Fi authors that I have found. I love military Sci-Fi and Jay has proven to me to be capable of writing some great books that are enjoyable and full of action. This book is very good and it is the second book of this series that I have read. I like this book and I found it entertaining and I could not stop reading it. I rated it at 5 stars. I can't wait for the next book from this author.
I do want to point out that this is the longest book written by Jay Allan. It is almost 396 pages long with continuous action. It is well written and I recommend it to you as a good military Sci-Fi story. If you are looking for a good story and love military Sci-Fi then this is a book you will enjoy reading!
This is part of a very good series and it is worth reading and enjoying the story.

Call to Arms Blood on the Stars II Volume 2 Jay Allan Books Reviews
I really enjoyed Book 1, but this is essentially the same novel just with different foes to defeat. Literally the same action sequences occur, with the same fears and thoughts in the characters minds, the same X-wing style fighter engagements, the same "can the engineers repair the critical damage" situations, and the same lose of power/people/armaments hindering Captain Barron's ability to just get in their and finish the job off.
However, this time, because it was so familiar, I had time to ponder what were mere niggles in Book 1, such as
- How do they power these miles-long dreadnoughts such they can blast through space at 10g's and only very occasionally worry about refueling?
- Ditto the fighters, which traverse insane distances, jinking and chasing the enemy. They do eventually run out of fuel, but not before flying to the moon and back a few times.
- And how do they manage to move their huge ships sufficiently fast to dodge most things fired at them? They do get hit, but usually it's only toward the end of the battle sequence when it's necessary to amp up the tension.
- Why do they have no effective deterrent against torpedoes? They often try and shoot them down with point defense lasers, but I'd have thought buckshot would be a better option. Indeed, they do not use kinetic weapons at all, when a small, very high speed, hard to see projectile would do so much more damage than most of the weapons described.
- Why is there so little weapons innovation across the board? And why are people better than AI when targeting? I never got how 'intuition' is superior to a fast processing core at tracking/predicting high-speed movement in space.
- Why don't they clad their ships in reflective armor? Lasers are not a good weapon if the beam bounces off!
- And how does Engineering essentially rebuild what is presented as fragile equipment multiple times over in space, in the midst of battle, and always in the nick of time? It's like me putting a .45 round through my laptop and then cobbling together a fix while tied up and blindfolded in the back of a moving SUV.
I could go on, but I'm guessing you get the idea.
I enjoyed it enough to consider buying Book 3, but if that's another rinse and repeat, then that's it for the series for me.
Before you pick this one up to read, please note it is book #2 of a series you need to have read book one first or this one won’t make much sense to you.
Without having a spoiler, the author picks up right where he left off with book one in the continuing war. The battle scenes are realistic, and the author paints the picture as if you are right there in the middle of things. What I like most about this series is you really feel as if you know the characters, and feel the raw emotion of the costs of war as you lose friends and loved ones. I stayed up late one night to finish this one, as I didn’t want to leave it or walk away to finish another day.
The version of this title is $4.99 – if you enjoyed book one, you will certainly receive more than $4.99 worth of entertainment value out of this one.
There's a lot to like here. I'm really interested in the world he's building. However, I'll never find out more. Why?
Let me sum up.
The fighters are dealing with low fuel, high G forces and their friends are dying. The captain feels bad about sending people off to die. And his grandfather was famous and maybe he's gotten to much benefit from that. The ship is damaged and the engineer is scrambling to fix it. She's a miracle worker. The fighter pilots are arrogant and have trouble expressing their feelings. The first office is awesome and came from less than nothing. The primary weapons fail a lot.
Statements related to these topics are repeated over and over and over and over and over.... And over and over and over and over.
And over again.
Got it, dude. We're aware. Time to tell us something new. Please.
I finally abandoned the third book about 1/4 of the way in. There just isn't enough new information.
