Rumors of Glory, book 1:

Humanity has colonized over 500 planets under the not-always-benevolent administration of the Federation of Planetary States via the FED Army and Navy. Longstanding grievances over economic exploitation by Earth-based companies have grown into a full-scale rebellion, and attempted secession has been tried by many of the more successful colonies. The Rebels believe a peaceful separation is possible. The FEDs believe an easy and swift military resolution is available. Both dreams of glory are shattered by the reality of a civil war that is rapidly escalating in scope and violence.

Rumors of Honor, book 2:

The interstellar civil war between the breakaway System States Union and the Federation of Planetary States continues to escalate with the help of sophisticated planning computers on both sides. Rumors of Honor is military science fiction that includes space battles, ground battles, political maneuvering, strategic deception, personal triumphs, and personal tragedies. Watch as the necessities of war force protagonists on both sides to compromise their honor.

The story has a lot of progress and innovation, which I do like. The characters, and their motivations did not interest me as they were mediocre and average in many respects. None stood out, they blended into one another.

I am going to compare this to another naval combat series, the one with Jack Geary who commands the lost fleet back through syndicate space and ends a war that's been ongoing for the past century. In that, the main planetary bombardment weapon is called a rock. It's a big slug of dense metal and kinetic energy does the damage. In this series, kinetic energy warheads are mentioned, but are treated as armour piercing ammo, much like how in ww2 warships would use AP or high explosive. This might seem like a nitpick, especially as this is the start of the war and thus everyone is coming up with new systems but if anything it's a good criticism. I'm that invested in the story where I wish the technical side was more thought out. Either way, I recommend this if space opera appeals to you.

Pretty interesting

it becomes boring after a while. narrated like a boring report with a hint of a excitement in some parts. I will not allocate any more resources into this books.

Dietmar Wehr sure can write.
A small resistance which started because of high taxes turned into a galactic war against earth.
Both sides use artificial intelligence which keeps designing better artificial intelligence computers so the real question is who is fighting and do the computers try to win or prolong the war.

As usual Jeffrey Kafer narration is beautifully done for each of the characters.

My full recommendations !

This book combines modern military strategies and principals that i recognise from my own service life fitted into a plausable scenario that i found intreguing and full of twists in the fog of war, one of my top 3 listens this year , worthy of the time spent listening andfollowing the story as it unfolds

This book combines modern military strategies
