Tyler Vernon and his troops aboard the gigantic battle station "Troy" face a desperate battle with the forces of galactic tyranny. And the very survival of the Earth and its people is not all that is at stake. The galaxy itself must choose to live free or die--and if the tyrants win this battle, darkness will fall across the galaxy for millennia to come.

Review of 'The hot gate' on 'Goodreads'

I couldn't finish it though, as the book is pretty racist, and that made me feel fairly uncomfortable.

Generally the story was okay - ignoring the racism. The Citadel was an improvement in writing - with more than just 'murican conservative good old boys in the story, but this was a big regression - constantly insulting non-us cultures, to the point that I felt so uncomfortable I had to stop.
