Cobra Gamble by Timothy Zahn, Cobra War Book 3

Cobra’s are cybernetically enhanced warriors. Decades after they save humanity they are regarded as a tax burden.   Then the Cobra worlds are invaded by the Trofts.  The Moreau family takes the brunt of defense dispersing over two planets.   Qasama, an old enemy needs help but can they accept help from the hated Cobras?   Alliances are tenuous and are also dependent on the success of the Cobras and the Djinns.

The anguish of sending love ones into combat and the willingness to sacrifice for one’s children is clearly shown by this book.  Zahn makes a lot of statements about prejudice and sacrifice.   There is plenty of action and the plot has enough nuances to keep you engrossed. 

I enjoyed the book and recommend it.  This series ends but it sets up the next trilogy, The Cobra Rebellion.
