The only complaint I have about the book is that I could tell the generally tell the broad plot outline from the type of book it was. That being said there is nothing wrong with following a trope if you do it well and the author does it very well.
The main Character Jason Reynolds is a navy seal who has found himself in a bit of trouble because his sense of justice and honor sometimes outvotes his common sense. The story starts with him under house arrest at his old family scrapyard with a shiny new ankle bracelet after an incident with some pirates. When his daughter comes to visit they both end up finding out that there is an ancient starship hidden on the property the hard way. It turns out that his father didn't disappear years ago, but has instead been fighting a long war against an alien menace that is now coming for earth. Very shortly the invasion arrives and Jason must scramble to get those he cares about to safety. Before he can get to her his ex-wife, who he still has feelings for, is captured and the alien Craing have made a fatal mistake. Before her capture Jason was not sure he would take up the challenge from the father who abandoned him, but now the aliens have made it personal, and unlike his father he is not afraid to discover everything his new ship can do.
This book will appeal to readers who enjoy military science fiction, and ancient alien benefactors. There are a lot of boarding actions, space battles, and hand to hand combat scenes for the military science fiction fan and plenty of clever capabilities that the crew unlocks on their salvaged ship along the way for the fan of the ancient alien technology.
The book can be found at www.amazon.com in print or as an e-book.
