Review: What happened to the series?

I've enjoyed the Kelly Blake series up until now.  This latest installment makes me wonder who wrote this one.  I'm used to some of the bad grammar, poor editing, and frequent use of wrong words in many of the Kindle books which I accept as part of the low price for some of these books.  However, the plot construction, character development, inconsistencies, and generally poor story-telling of this installment is really detrimental to the series.A couple of examples.  After a long and bitter war enemies suddenly become best friends just because an embassy is built on the enemy home world?The plot of raging insects taking over world after world is interesting, but no real rationale (please authors, note the difference between rational and rationale) as to how they became spacefaring rather than mindless, ravenous, hive creatures is really provided.The insects act like ants, digging burrows and caverns on worlds they occupy, but on the home world live in apartments and cities above ground.The home world invasion has too many inconsistencies and unbelievable premises to detail here.In one space fight sequence a protagonist is described as employing her "secret weapon".  What secret weapon?  When did we hear about this earlier in the book?  Where is the setup for this?  It's just a "deux ex machina" ploy that isn't a compelling event in the story line.If there is a sequel, I sure hope it's better thought out and written than the current installment.
