Chaos Quarter #4
Wrath of the Hegemons
Once before Rex Vahl tangled with the Perfected Hegemony, a reclusive superpower of genetic supremacists so altered that some question if they’re any longer human. He and his crew barely survived the experience. Even since then the threat of them has lurked in the back of his mind, growing…When ordered to make contract with the nations bordering Hegemon space, Rex is understandably hesitant, and expecting trouble for his crew. What he did not expect to find was a full-blown war of annihilation.
The Hegemons are no longer reclusive. In fact, now that the universe knows who they are, they have done a complete one-eighty and launched invasions of the only neighboring nations capable of resisting them: the Achaean Confederacy, and Valhalla Free State. Worlds have been conquered, billions have died, and now Rex finds himself and his crew right in the middle of it. When an attempt to rescue an Achaean ship ends with them all trapped on a besieged world, Rex must throw in with his new allies to try and find a way out. Outnumbered and cut-off, desperate options are all they have left. A victory could turn the tide of the entire war, but a defeat could cripple the last military forces of these beleaguered nations, leaving the whole galaxy open to invasion. But what choice remains? Their enemy takes no prisoners, only exterminates and replaces. Against such a foe what else can Rex do but risk it all challenging the wrath of the Hegemons…

Good book, would recommend
I quite like the Chaos Quarter series, it's always fun to read and enough of a pageturner that it only takes me a couple of days to read

Thoroughly enjoyed
Pretty much read the whole book in a day. I too have been waiting for another book in this series. There were a few errors but did not detract from the story. Will wait eagerly for the next one.

Great action
Great action throughout the story interlaced with fun drama between the characters. The way the space battle was described you can picture it.
Can't wait for next book, hope you don't take too long to get it out.
