Book #48–Battle Station

The fifth book in the Star Force series is Battle Station. Kyle Riggs has a dream. A battle station that can defend the star system against the Macros. He decides to work on this, but first he must set up a buffer. He returns to the Centaur system, where the Blues also live and the Macros have a stronghold.

With the help of the Centaurs he captures not only a planet, but one of the large Macro factories, dramatically increasing his ability to produce new ships. It’s a long set of battles, the microbes return, Marvin is as elusive as ever and we get our first chance to find out about the Blues.

The battle station doesn’t get built, but it gets going in this book.
