Scorandums head was still spinning from learning that humans were flying the fearsome ghost ship, and that humans had a cache of Elder weapons. An apology from us? Scorandums main antennas dipped low over his eyes. The comedic writing is a fresh alternative to other SciFi series I have read. and our Right now, I do not know what to believe. Also I am sure the Terminators were the ones who use the Elder weapons to trigger that gigantic Massacre that started all these wars in the first place. Also Book 8 confused me at the beginning also but apparently it was a clunky way to add another ship into the storyline. I was wrong. Get upset about Homefront if you want, it was good but I get the criticism, but if that makes you opt out, youre MISSING out.
