People are becoming complacent, politicians are doing what they do (the stupidest things possible), and Wolfe is still the only captain with any real combat experience when the Phage finally begin showing up for real. Unfortunately, in the intervening four years, contact with the Phage has been sporadic. Jackson Wolfe, hero of Warship, is now in charge of a squadron of the fleet’s newest destroyers, advanced, mean ships tuned specifically to fight the Phage. When the book takes us back to the 25th century, four years have passed since the events of Warship. Today, I move on to the next two books in the trilogy to see if the author can keep us on the edge of our seat while those characters stare tensely at computer screens!Ĭall to Arms, the second book in Joshua Dalzelle’s Black Fleet Trilogy, opens with a brief prologue about the development of the Black Fleet universe’s warp drive in a fifteen-minutes-from-now future. Last time, I sung the praises of Warship, a novel about people fighting aliens while tensely staring at computer panels onboard a warship.
