Review: Enjoyable series, reminds me a bit of the Cobra series by Timothy Zahn

Cybernetically enhanced super soldiers won the first war against the Merkiaari, but in the centuries of peace that followed they lost the support of the government. Forced to look after themselves they've insulated themselves into the military hierarchy and take care of themselves with a number of unorthodox methods while waiting for a renewal of the war. In the meantime a new alien species has been encountered which seems friendly, but the Merkiaari reappear, bigger, badder, and tougher than before leaving Humanity to decide whether to race to the rescue or not and save these potential allies from genocide at the hands of their ancient foes.The books are a nice read. I do wish maybe that they focused more exclusively on the war, but feel some of the plotlines may come back around as the Vipers win back popular support by saving the Alliance again.
