I am a fan of the TR Harris series The Human Chronicles.  I have read all of the books and I enjoyed them all too various degrees.  Adam Cain is returning to earth with Sherri Valentine.  On the way they pass through a massive wave of destruction and discover an enormous fleet of Kracori battle ships headed to earth.  Adam is forced to test the range and strength of his new found godlike superpowers to escape and warn his home planet that faces the total annihilation of the human race....This is another book in the series where the humans find themselves under attack by three and potentially four alien races.  The universe's intelligent life forms, for the most part, fear the super powered human race that is faster, stronger and better fighters than most of the known life forms of the galaxy.  Humans in reality just want to trade goods, feel secure and be left alone.  Unfortunately there already exist severe hatred of humans by the Klin, Kracori, Juireans and the Jusepi races.  Out of the thousands of intelligent species in the universe that doesn't seem bad but unfortunately 3 of the races are among the most powerful, technologically advanced and aggressive.  They are not good enemies to have, especially when several of them begin working together.This is a good book and I liked it a lot.  There are a lot of flashbacks and retelling of information in this story that at times slows down the storyline but it is still full of action and it is an interesting tale.  If you are interested in reading it though I would suggest that you start at the beginning of the series and follow the storyline that has to this point been a sequential journey moving forward in time.  The background will be interesting and help to fill in the blanks.  Here are the books in order:1. The Fringe Worlds2. Alien Assassin3. The War of Pawns4. The Tactics of Revenge5. The legend of Earth6. Cain's Crusaders7. The Apex PredatorI rate this book a 4.5 stars but since there is not  star rating I will give it a five.  It is better than the last book and that hooked me in the story and I could not stop reading it.  Now the next story has been set into motion at the end of this book I cannot wait for the next one to be released.  If you want to pick a fight you don't start by attacking an 800 pound gorilla!
