Story
The Raider clans have been defeated, and their planet is under the supervision of the Riss, with Captain Reese the station commander. But while Reese sees the Raider clans as on probation, many in the SAS task force she commands perceive them as prisoners and hope to break the Treaty and get revenge. As Nadya attempts to maintain the fragile peace, the three empires are being invaded. They know the invading force is far more technologically advanced than the SAS. But who are they, where did they come from, and what do they want?

Story
An insidious cabal has decided to change the direction of the United Alliance of Stars (UAS) with a coup d’etat - but not through a military takeover. They have devised a subtler coup: the manipulation of the Committee, the 15-star system that sets policy for the UAS. The UAS Committee enlists their de facto troubleshooter, Anna Paulus, to shut down the cabal, but they insists she leave the NIA and manage UAS Committee Security. For Anna it’s a nightmare scenario, leaving her safe world for a completely new environment dominated by macho men with years of combat experience.

Surviving the training program was dangerous - even the first challenge to gain entrance to the school could get you killed. But the training was the easy part. Staying alive afterward was the hard part. Kazaks guarded individuals whose lives were deemed critical to the security of the United States. As such, Kazaks attracted fanatics and the best professional assassins money could buy - liars who could tell lies you believed, ghosts who could become nearly invisible, and Illusionists who could appear to be anyone.

Smarter is a near future sci-fi/thriller whose young heroine, Ell Donsaii, we learned in Quicker, has a nerve mutation that makes her an athletic phenomenon, so fast that no one can keep up with her. Like Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), Ell is a mathematical genius who, while trying to drift off to sleep, instead of counting sheep, has developed a new theory of quantum mechanics. At once shy and concerned about her social skills, yet loved by those around her, she goes to grad school to try to understand experimental physics.

Publisher's Summary
Nadia is now an experienced naval officer with two engagements with the Raider's cruiser packs. But hosting an intelligent parasite, she continuities to be seen as an alien, generating disgust, fear, hate, and attempts to kill her.
To add to her problems, the Raiders have identified her as contributing directly to their bad luck and have designated her a dybbuk - demon - and have set a price on her dead or alive.
Life has become a little too interesting.

i found the amount of prejudice somewhat over the top but it was necessary, it is after all fiction. A great narration to a very original series. I read books one and two strait through and I have attention deficit disorder(joke) and never do that. The rest of the series on audible PLEASE.

Taking Command
This is the second book in a continuing series. You need to read/listen to the first book to understand this one. The book ends at a natural break in the narrative but the story continues in the next book.
Nadya has gained a great deal of experience in a short amount of time. She’s been rotated between many of the departments onboard a ship and poked her nose into everything she can find and as a result she has become extremely knowledgable. She has also fought in two different battles with the raiders. She has begun to see clearly into the minds of the raiders and as a result they have become wary and fearful of her involvement in action taken against them.
Through her knowledge and battle experience, she has gained an elevated position both in the SAS Navy and with her Riss sisters. Though she feels too young, many want her to step up and lead. This makes her even less popular amongst those people within the SAS who are disgusted with the idea of the Riss/Human project. If it weren’t for her own skills in combat and Thalia’s healing abilities she would have been dead already from the attacks made by the raider’s spies and disgruntled Navy personnel.
This book was a good progression of character development for Nadya and Thalia. They learn to work even more closely with each other and Nadya is often guided by the much more experienced Riss that she hosts. Thalia’s point of view often allows Nadya to make better decisions and act with greater confidence.
It’s also interesting to see how Nadya’s role within the Riss sisterhood develops during the course of this book. We get to know much more about the Riss as a race and their dreams become clearer to us.
The raiders storyline is interesting and we get to see a bit more about their culture in this book, rather than just as a faceless enemy. There are several space battles described in this book in a way that was exciting and believable (even if I don’t understand the maths!)
I think this series is going to continue to develop in interesting ways as Nadya grows older and more experienced, and the Riss/Human Project gets more involved. I look forward to reading the next book.
