Book 2 of the Rise of the Empire series. This follows two separate groups. Olympus and the old Earth. The bulk of the story is on Olympus and there is a clash with one of the groups of bad guys. The story is engaging and leaves you curious about what will happen next. Lots of advances and weapons and in the end it comes down to war. While sci-fi is not normally my thing, this is a fun series. It will be interesting to see where it goes next.
