The Hundred Worlds have withstood invasion by the relentless Hok for decades. Their economies are geared for military output, and they raise specialized soldiers to save our species. With Lieutenant Carla Engels piloting, Starship Liberator explores enemy territory in search of answers.. Genetically sculpted to drive a mech-suit as if he wears a second skin, he must find a path to victory. The long war has transformed the Hundred Worlds into heavily fortified star systems. The human worlds are strong, but the Hok have the resources of a thousand planets behind them, and their fleets attack in endless waves. Assault Captain Derek Straker is one such man among many. It's a battle in which he'll never admit defeat, but not even Straker knows the dark truth behind this titanic struggle

For all I know, Mr. Larson left much of the writing to his co-author, but it sure reads like one of his books -- a good thing! There really is nothing new in "Starship Liberator", perhaps apart from something called "underspace", but it all comes together in a most pleasing fashion.MINOR SPOILER FOLLOW
