This book is about a worn-out space captain who wants to remain obscure but becomes the sole hope of Earth in their defense against an alien infestation. The alien bugs capture ships and use them to invade other metal-rich planets. These alien bugs currently have their eyes set on Earth’s holdings and colonies. The bugs can fly in space to attack earth ships in flight and tear them apart. They are unstoppable.

Captain Jeff Bowers learns how to move military assets through space by manipulating spacetime. The peaceful aliens who taught him this ability are opposed to him using it as he risks the balance of spacetime by using it. Bowers persisted however and, at the end of this book, transported his ship and crew into a parallel universe. That’s all there is as the remaining ramifications of his actions are in the next book.

The Oblivion Threshold is not a stand-alone book but should be viewed as an introduction to the series. I read it as an audiobook while exercising. The narrator's voice and inflections sound like the narrators heard on old newsreels from the 1940s. These two disappointing issues turned me off to reading other books in this series.

This is a brilliantly written book, with a wide variety of personalities and talents, to make up both the main and supporting characters, which meant the story was filled to the brim with an excellent depth of interaction and detail. The world was also excellently detailed, making the story very easy to connect with.

I found the overall story very interesting and unique. I loved the storyline and the way the characters and their actions took that and ran with it, really building a full story to delve into.

The book was very well written and definitely paid attention to all the little details needed to give a full perspective of a story with such depth, really building something that could be carried forward, into an excellent series. It has all the background needed to really become something that people are going to want to gobble up, the moment it is released.

Overall, I absolutely loved this book and look forward to the next instalment!
