Their first port of call is Spitfire Station, a smuggler's port terrorized by a group of space raiders indiscriminately hunting down civilian ships, with a secret base hidden in the one place in the system Alamo dare not go. Can Lieutenant-Captain Daniel Marshall and his crew complete their daring mission, and perhaps uncover a web of corruption reaching back to the heart of the Triplanetary Confederation, or will their quest to hunt down the Cabal end at Spitfire Station...

I quite enjoyed this book, the plot had decent pace, although with a few inconsistencies. There were a few interesting new characters, it was just a shame that Esposito has moved to a new position, as her and Orlova have been my favourites in the previous books.
This is the fifth book and I have come to the conclusion that the author sometimes forgets what he has written and ends up creating discrepancies in the stories. This appears to be his style of writing so I suppose I will just have to put up with it.

Book 5 is Great
I enjoyed book 5 every bit as much as the first 4 books in the series. I have downloaded book 6 already.

Mind Numbingly Bad Writing
The complete and continuing failures of the "Battlecruiser Alamo Series," are again showcased in Book 5: "Not One Step Back." The very small, potential of the original storyline, has been fully buried beneath the weight of Mr. Tongue's poor writing, inept editing, and absent proofreading.
The habitual lack of coherent sentence structure, narrative flow, and repetitive plots, indicate not just a true lack of both writing skill and talent by the author, but a cynical greed. Knowingly producing 18 or 19 books of the "Alamo" series, all imbued with shoddy workmanship, all pretty much the same theme-go out into space, get in conflict, shoot missile after missile, hack enemy, repeat, and end book-is mind numbingly bad.
This book, the series, and the author are all not recommended.

The story moves quickly with plenty of action.
great read, plenty of action, some new characters and some characters moving out of the story arc. Good read and starting the next.
