The Golden Viper (The Crimson Deathbringer Trilogy #2)

Kanoor has fallen. Despite their crushing defeat on Earth, the Xortaags are back, and with a genius plan that can be the brainchild of only one man in the galaxy, they've conquered the Akakie homeworld. Not being the forgive-and-forget types, the Xortaags have chosen Earth as their next target. Moreover, if they have enough time to reverse-engineer all the advanced technology they found on Kanoor, they will rule the universe forever. Now it's up to Jim, Kurt, Oksana and Tarq to save not only humanity but also every single sentient species in the universe. And to make things worse, an even more sinister threat (yeah, more sinister than the Xortaags) is emerging in the background. You thought the stakes were high in The Crimson Deathbringer (with Earth conquered and 700 million people killed)? You ain't seen nothing yet!
