Story
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Story
From the rich imagination of science-fiction great Alan Dean Foster comes the story of Midworld, a Humanx Commonwealth planet that's equally fragile and hostile. Covered by a lush rainforest, Midworld is home to a primitive society that lives in harmony with the natural world. But the arrival of an exploitative human company, whose workers know nothing of Midworld's delicate ecosystem, sparks a conflict. Should Midworld's villagers aid the humans or stand against them?

Publisher's Summary
Humans are caught up in an alien war in this epic from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Trek Into Darkness.
For millennia, the Weave, an alliance of species, have fought to resist the telepathic Amplitur, who strive to unite all self-aware life-forms in their great "Purpose." The Weave is slowly losing ground, but for both sides, warfare focuses more on outthinking and outmaneuvering your foe than destruction. In fact, most regard violence as hideously barbaric, and even the thought of harming another sentient being is beyond imagining.
Then they come to Earth . . .
A Call to Arms
When one of its scout ships lands on Earth, the Weave quickly realizes that humanity's almost innate ability to wreak havoc and death may hold the key to turning the tide in their fight. Unfortunately for all, the Amplitur have the same idea—and mankind is caught in the middle.
The False Mirror
When the Amplitur unleash an elite cadre of fighters, it soon becomes clear that they have subjected their human prisoners to horrific genetic manipulation. But if the Weave attempts to undo the effects, they may change the former warriors into something far, far worse.
The Spoils of War
With mankind's help, the Weave is finally on the verge of victory against the Amplitur. Until an alien scholar uncovers a terrifying truth: Earthlings might not even be capable of being civilized—and a shadowy group of powerful humans is already poised to unleash war across the entire galaxy.

One of my favorites
This series has always been one of my favorites.
I grew at a time when books and movies were constantly centered on how inherently violent humans were and how we were not ready for any contact with what must be "civilized" alien races. Books like Childhood's End and movies like The Day The Earth Stood Still were constantly referring to how uncivilized we were and how dangerous to any other intelligence we would be, so when I first came across this series I was struck how Alan Dean Foster had turned the whole notion of how warlike we were on its head. Maybe we were a danger, but maybe we were also the salvation of all of those "civilized" aliens. I still have the 3 books in paperback but when I realized that the series was available on Audible I immediately bought it and spent a week listening.
The story, of course, involves aliens who have been involved in a thousand year war stumbling across humans in their attempt to find allies against the mind controlling alien race at the heart of the enemy. Since all civilized races are largely incapable of violence they are hoping to find a new planet where the people might provide some kind of help, even if only providing supplies. Instead they find humans whose basic natural talent is to fight wars and the civilized races are torn between the need for human soldiers and the fear of any race that actually enjoys violence. As delightfully ironic as the plot twist is, there is little actual violence in these books as the story is one of contact between the races, the attempts of the humans to convince the aliens that they are civilized and the struggle the aliens have in dealing with humans.
There is a great deal of character development, considerable politics and little actual fighting so if people are looking for space battles and violent conflict they should look elsewhere. There is a great deal of conflict in these books, but it is not the kind you normally see in space operas. Rather, it is the conflict between the beliefs of all of those involved from the ultra peaceful Wais who may go catatonic if faced with violence to humans who often revel in violence. The war has been going on for a thousand years because everyone is so civilized that they do not use any excessive force. All of that would change if humans became involved.
The narration is adequate although I could not help but wonder what RC Bray might have done with this series. If you want thoughtful first-contact stories this may be just your cup of tea.

A good series I was happy to find on audio book.
I really hate when the aliens are bigger and meaner than us. I truly think many SyFi authors suffer from small winki syndrome. Finally in this book, mankind is the meanest and overall strongest versatile creatures in the universe. The theory that as a space faring society would be peaceful and would not make war is included in these books but who do you call when you need to go to war.

Solid.
This series is, at its core, a study and report on humanity when 'exploited' to do what we've been doing since the beginning of our civilization. Wage war.
There is the Amplitur alien species. The only known alien species capable of some form of telepathy. They use this 'gift' to 'influence' other alien species to their side to assist in fulfilling what the Amplitur deem "the purpose". The purpose being something eerily close to a religious belief, the end objective being to unite all intelligent life in the galaxy and eventually the universe. Sounds nice, until you realize the Amplitur are using their abilities to mentally 'suggest' to other species to side with them and their purpose, giving those other, lesser civilizations no choice in the matter. And if they don't get what they want through mental suggestion, then either force of arms or biological manipulation are employed. In the end, the Amplitur get what they want, regardless.
On the other side is the Weave. A federation of aliens that formed an alliance with the sole purpose of fighting off the Amplitur to retain their independence.
With that bit of background, the main premise of the series is this: Almost none of the alien species are capable of violence. To most alien societies, to be violent, is to be inherently uncivilized. The Amplitur have modified several of their recruited/allied races in order to be more capable and proficient in combat where they otherwise wouldn't be. For the Weave, it is only the Massood that are capable of fighting, and they do so reluctantly.
Enter Humanity. Looking for new allies, the Weave discover Earth and realize that humans could be a huge boon to the war effort. Evolving as predators on a deathworld and a mindset in which they seem to actually enjoy fighting.
One thing to keep in mind is that almost all of the fighting takes place on the surface of contested worlds. Space battles, while they do happen, very rarely result in the destruction of ships, as they almost always retreat to underspace to either leave the area or conduct repairs. Most efforts are spent sending soldiers to the ground in order to wrestle control of the world from the enemy, either to prevent the resources from being used by the other side, or to liberate the populations on said planet. It is a war of ideologies more than anything else, with both sides wanting to recruit allies and prevent xenocide of any kind.
Overall, I found the story enjoyable and different from what I'm used to, with the caveat that it's predictable and generic, with some admittedly cheesy dialogue at times. I absolutely loved the narrator. Every character sounded completely different and whether male or female, human or alien, they were all 100% believable.
Don't go into this expecting some amazing, flawless, and intriguing novel that makes you think. No, this is humans being recruited for war and about how the galaxy is now dealing with the one, known species that revels in it. And that's how it is all the way through.

Disappointing
I had high hopes for this trilogy having enjoyed the Flinx and Humanx novels, but for me that sadly wasn't to be.
I found the main human character irritating and unrealistic, a purported musician who kept claiming that humans weren't interested in fighting at all, thereby ignoring all of human history, but my main issue was that nothing really happened for page after page after page, it got to the stage where I was listening to see if there was any action which only really seemed to happen for a short while towards the end of A call to Arms. When I got into False Mirror it was more of the same at which point I gave up.
The narrator was great, but the stories are longwinded

This is my all time favourite story, and loved it again through Audible. Thanks for the listening pleasure.
