War rages between the Confederation and the Union. Shattered fleets watch each other warily across a war torn frontier. Both sides are licking their wounds, gathering strength to continue the fight. Captain Tyler Barron and the crew of Dauntless are finally enjoying the rest they’ve earned while their aging battleship Dauntless gets the repairs and refit it desperately needs. But their respite will be short-lived. In the Badlands, deep in the haunted vastness of pre-Cataclysmic space, a new discovery threatens to upset the balance of power. Orbiting a world in a distant system is an ancient battleship, vastly larger and enormously more advanced than anything possessed by the contending powers…and the Union has already sent forces to seize it. The Confederation has no ships close enough to intervene, to get there before the enemy…none save Dauntless. Barron and his crew must race across the Badlands, find the ancient artifact, and somehow hold it, keep the Union forces from taking it, until reinforcements arrive. They will be outnumbered and outgunned, but there can be no retreat. Not this time. Nothing less than the fate of all human-inhabited space is at stake. If the Confederation is able to rediscover the technology of the ancients, it will be safe for generations to come, its defensive forces untouchable by its enemies. But if the Union gets there first, if it can adapt the incredible power of mankind’s lost technology, it will gain the power to enslave all humanity. This fight isn’t for territory. It isn’t for position or tactical advantage. It is for the future.

This is an excellent Sci-Fi story. Captain Tyler Barron and his famous war ship, Dauntless, are returning to a distant port to get much needed repairs. The crew and the Captain are heroes in the war between the Confederation and the evil Union star cluster. While in for repairs, Barron is called into a clandestine meeting and given a special assignment by the top Confederation Admiral and the head of the Confederation Secret Service.They are tasked to travel alone into the forbidden Bad Lands where an ancient war ship is found. It is rumored to be intact and more powerful than all of the war ships involved in the war. Ancient technology that is hundreds, if not thousands, of years more advanced than the current technologies of either the Confederation or the Union capabilities. Whoever gets this ship and learns of its superior technology will not only win the war but have the power to conquer the entire galaxy. They have only translated the name of the massive ship. It is called Planet Killer and the name alone strikes fear in the hearts of all that have heard of the find.
Dauntless must make a trip into the Bad Lands and capture and control possession of the ancient ship at all costs. If not, it may mean the end of the Confederation…..
This book is full of a lot of action. Space battles and hand to hand combat on massive space ships. The tactical strategies and use of advanced technology make this book entertaining and fun to read. Jay Allan is an excellent author and I have read all of his books. This is one of his best.
If you love Sci-Fi then this is a book that you must read. I enjoyed this story and I recommend it to you.

Ruins of Empire Blood on the Stars III Volume 3 Jay Allan Books Reviews
A number of reviewers have noted what I noted, and that is that these novels are repetitious across many dimensions the emotions of the characters, the battle scenes, the 'fix it or die' situations, and the unlikeliness of 'Dauntless' and her crew being sent out to fight alone once again.
'Ruins of Empire' actually has some innovations in the battle scenes at least, with the Union employing a tactic so obvious that it is criminal that neither navy has used it before. Then there is the ancient artifact aspect, which offers opportunity for new ideas...or old ones, this is an "ancient" artifact after all. There is also a potential love interest for the thus-far barren Captain Barron, though as with all the rest of the introspection, we get way too much of Barron's "does he or doesn't he" see-saw of emotion. But these are squandered because it really does seem that the author wants to write WWII naval engagements, just with space ships.
If you've read the first two novels, it will be no surprise to find 'Dauntless' in dire straights. This time she is "outnumbered and outgunned" in the badlands, and as with the first two novels, "there can be no retreat." The entire crew should be suffering from PSTD by now, but somehow they hold things together because "the fate of all human-inhabited space is at stake."
OK, I'm being a bit facetious, but Allan keeps serving up the same dish and after three books I'm disappointed with the meal. The rinse and repeat of 'Dauntless' being in the exact same position of facing what should be an ignominious defeat, yet through grit, carefully applied duct tape, much teeth gnashing, and an impossibly stupid foe, somehow turns tables. Again. And again. And again.
So, I'm done with this series. If you really enjoyed the first two, there will be enough difference here in the badlands to keep you keen. But if you were wavering because of the repetition, don't bother, it's just more of the same.
In China, if you are one in a million, there are 1,000 more just like you. If everyone has an amazingly talented, miracle worker engineer; when does it stop being amazing?
We get some of the same 'wash, rinse, repeat' of the battles as in the earlier books, but there is less in this book. Less battle and less 'wash, rinse, repeat' in those battles. The lack of constant action actually lends more space to character development and storytelling. A refreshing change. We are even introduced to a possible love interest for the Captain. Tara gets a seat in the big chair and we finally hear of an 'average' engineer. While there is some 'more of the same', it is different enough to be interesting.
So, Volume Two had some issues, but was still great. All of those issues are resolved in this, volume three of the four part series, resulting in what I think is the best of the three.
Bad guys got a little more character development--nothing like volume one, but way better than the cartoon evil from volume two. But any lack of character development among the bad guys is more than made up for by the introduction of a new set of characters--pirates! Aligned with neither the Union or the Confederacy, the Pirates join the Confederate god guys (presumably, Pirates do better in a liberal democracy than in a dictatorship) in a battle for an ancient weapon from the future.
In the meantime, an all out battle rages between the two massive fleets, with all the sprawling narrative required for a battle covering millions of miles of space.
A small quibble the author plays fast and loose with the "rules" governing radio transmissions. At one point, the ship and the away crew cannot communicate, because the distance would require 16 minutes for radio waves to travel back and forth. A short while later, the exact same parries are talking in real time. When it comes to communications in the massive battle, there is no lag time at all. You have to chose as an author--have they figured out technology which defeats the time required by radio waves to travel through space, or haven't they. You can't have it both ways, as convenient for the plot.
Off the read volume four.
