Publisher's Summary
Stranded light-years from home, Major Andrew Grayson and his crew are on a desperate mission to discover the Lankies’ secrets. They can’t let what they’ve found die with them.
Nine hundred light-years from home, Major Andrew Grayson and the crew of NACS Washington are marooned in a sunless system with limited water, reactor fuel, and food. The last hope for survival is to go where nothing human has gone before.
After embarking on a scouting mission to the only moon with surface signs of life, Andrew and his Special Tactics Team make two startling discoveries. One is a dream: a form of protein and plant life that could save the starving humans in the rogue system. The second is a nightmare: this harvested rock is infested with Lankies. Far from the seemingly mindless aggressors Andrew has battled for years, these show a terrifying awareness, and they have surprising secrets of their own hidden away in the darkness.
When the Lankies sense an uninvited presence in their world, Andrew’s operation becomes an expedition to hell. The odds against his small crew are stacked high. Of all the mysteries of space, how to escape with their lives is the greatest unknown of all.

A series running out of steam.
I loved the first few books in this series, but it seems Marko has lost interest in it which is a shame.
He wrote himself into a corner with this story arc and this book and its predecessor have been an absolute snoozefest as a result.

disappointing
so so many inconsistencies, “…Mars itself blew that to hell with 25 million killed” … “7 years and 100,000 deaths later”.
ok is the last book and i still haven’t introduce the lankies home work. let’s us the unkown tech story line, then let’s duplicate a series of highly improbable results. the book felt lazy and incomplete.
Then, let’s abandon ship. ok the atmosphere is toxic, ok let’s ignore that. we’ll beat the lankies, um it’s not like they can nerve gas everyone again…oh wait.
The ship still has power, an atmosphere, an engine oh with external weapons, that can kill lankies at range, but no the planet is a better option.
just disappointing, oh and bring back Luke Daniels
