War. The word spreads throughout the Confederation...the long-expected Union invasion has come. The enemy is strong, their fleets larger and more powerful than intelligence reports had predicted. They have broken through the forward defenses, sent the Confederation's proud fleets into an ignominious retreat.
Captain Tyler Barron and the crew of the battleship Dauntless are light-years from the front lines, at Archellia, waiting for their damaged battleship to be repaired. Their ship is only just operational, but there is no time. The Confederation forces need every reinforcement they can get, and Barron and his survivors board their vessel...and rush to the battle lines.
When they get there, they encounter nothing but fleeing ships and shattered fleets. The Confederation is losing the war, falling back steadily, yielding system after system to the invaders. The Union fleets continue inexorably forward, seemingly immune to the supply constraints that have bogged down past invasions. Dauntless finds herself trapped, cut off from the rest of the fleet along with another Confed battleship and a trio of small escort vessels...deep behind the rapidly moving front lines.
Barron must make a choice. Pull back, try to find a way to get around the enemy, and rejoin the fleet. Or press on, strike deep behind the enemy advance, an almost suicidal thrust toward the Union's main logistical supply base...and the one way Tyler Barron can think of to buy the fleet the time it needs to regroup. To survive.

The Confederation has made a serious mistake. They knew war was coming with the Union star clusters but they grossly underestimated the strength of the Union star fleet. They go into battle with better pilots and fighters but they are seriously out numbered.Meanwhile Captain Tyler Barron is struggling to get his massive flagship repaired after a victorious but costly battle with a single invading battle ship that was testing the fighting ability of the Confederation. His ship’s victory over the invader saved the Confederation from fighting a massive war on two fronts. Now he must get his damaged ship repaired and to the front to fight a desperate battle to turn the invaders around and to totally defeat them or his Confederation of planets face death and destruction while being conquered.
As they arrive at the front they realize the fight is more desperate than they imagined and the Confederation is already almost nearly defeated. Captain Barron thinks he sees a way to possibly save the Confederation but it a risky and dangerous decision. He sees no other alternative so he has to risk his ship and all of the crew in the effort to win……
Jay Allen is one of the best new Sci-Fi authors that I have found. I love military Sci-Fi and Jay has proven to me to be capable of writing some great books that are enjoyable and full of action. This book is very good and it is the second book of this series that I have read. I like this book and I found it entertaining and I could not stop reading it. I rated it at 5 stars. I can't wait for the next book from this author.
I do want to point out that this is the longest book written by Jay Allan. It is almost 396 pages long with continuous action. It is well written and I recommend it to you as a good military Sci-Fi story. If you are looking for a good story and love military Sci-Fi then this is a book you will enjoy reading!
This is part of a very good series and it is worth reading and enjoying the story.

Call to Arms Blood on the Stars Book 2 (Audible Audio Edition) Jay Allan Jeffrey Kafer Audible Studios Books Reviews
Worst excuse of a book I've read this year. Looking for sci-fi, find another book. Looking for a book with a story, this isn't it. Characters the reader can care about, not a chance. All the author has done here is proven he can write silly and ridiculous battle scenes no thinking person would care about. I almost wish I had a hard copy of this book, so I could do the world a favor by burning it.
I was somewhat conflicted as to how to rate this book. Being a follow up to the first entry in the series frankly did it no favors. This is a very good military SF story, by the numbers slightly but quite compelling and interesting. However, when compared to the first entry in the series it is a step down in quality. We are back to the familiar trope of flawed but generally good USA-like democracy vs. evil super oppressive ultra totalitarian USSR-like clone, down to almost identical political systems. Not a bad setup and the great characters from book one that made it alive are back, but after the first entry I was hoping for more.
I enjoyed book 1 in this series and decided to buy the next 2 books, while Call to arms was okay when i got onto book3 it was similar to books 1&2 . namely brave captain, brave crew members, desperate fight, clever engineer who holds the ship together and a weapons system that while devastating, is prone to failure at vital times in the battles. It left me wondering why they never fixed it or developed something better. This series I think goes on for another 5 books(I could be wrong). i won't be going past book 3 as I believe the story line will remain the same just different characters will be killed off.
it's a great book 2 in the series. The continuing characters are "real" people, and decisions/questions about tactics and strategy seem real. Shows how great leaders can suddenly arise and seize the moment, and poor ones fall by the roadside. Lots of individual heroes, and good guys also get killed as in real life. Great space opera in the old tradition. I've never been disappointed by any of Jay Allan's books and I've read them all. I'll be waiting impatiently for Book 3. Did notice one questionable item. In CH. 11, Dauntless from Blue Leader...Dauntless is light minutes away from position but they won't hear his transmission for almost a quarter hour. Am I missing something here? What are they using for communications? O'well!
Before you pick this one up to read, please note it is book #2 of a series you need to have read book one first or this one won’t make much sense to you.
Without having a spoiler, the author picks up right where he left off with book one in the continuing war. The battle scenes are realistic, and the author paints the picture as if you are right there in the middle of things. What I like most about this series is you really feel as if you know the characters, and feel the raw emotion of the costs of war as you lose friends and loved ones. I stayed up late one night to finish this one, as I didn’t want to leave it or walk away to finish another day.
The version of this title is $4.99 – if you enjoyed book one, you will certainly receive more than $4.99 worth of entertainment value out of this one.
There's a lot to like here. I'm really interested in the world he's building. However, I'll never find out more. Why?
Let me sum up.
The fighters are dealing with low fuel, high G forces and their friends are dying. The captain feels bad about sending people off to die. And his grandfather was famous and maybe he's gotten to much benefit from that. The ship is damaged and the engineer is scrambling to fix it. She's a miracle worker. The fighter pilots are arrogant and have trouble expressing their feelings. The first office is awesome and came from less than nothing. The primary weapons fail a lot.
Statements related to these topics are repeated over and over and over and over and over.... And over and over and over and over.
And over again.
Got it, dude. We're aware. Time to tell us something new. Please.
I finally abandoned the third book about 1/4 of the way in. There just isn't enough new information.
