| Omschrijving | Essef - The second and last part of the Commonwealth Saga begins with the abrupt ending of Pandora's Star.
Judas Unchained begins by describing what small human resistance exists on the decimated Commonwealth worlds which were attacked during the first phase of the Prime invasion. Human resistance forces have found two ways to fight back: using the Prime weapons (primarily directed-energy weapons) against the invaders, and also by disrupting communication between the slave caste and the commanding caste of the Primes. Meanwhile, the humans in the remaining Commonwealth pursue several parallel plans: (1) developing a set of weapons and warships to defend against the next Prime invasion and/or force the conflict back into Prime space; (2) developing a "quantumbuster" superweapon based on technology supplied, unbeknownst to most humans, by the Starflyer, and (3) making plans to escape known space altogether if necessary.
The SI is revealed to be somewhat duplicitous, not committing to help humanity, and yet not refusing to either.
Humans decide that there can be no other solution to the conflict than to commit genocide, destroying the Prime aliens entirely. However, it is revealed that the Primes are planning a much larger invasion, which humanity will be all but powerless to stop... |
