Promise of War

by John Walker

Carson Flint believes things may have finally settled down in the Crossroads. Until a shady representative from the Commonwealth arrives on a desperate mission to save the daughter of a high ranking official. The problem seems easy enough to solve, but little do they know this one girl’s abduction may well be the catalyst for a second galactic war.

Meanwhile, Shev Gaul attempts to return a prisoner to an old friend. Catastrophe strikes, stranding him in a burning forest on a planet where the settlement is beset by madness. Out of shape, running low on time, and injured, he must move fast to escape…or burn to death in obscurity.

Cliffhanger

Another cliffhanger...for all of the characters! I hope that everyone manages to make a path to freedom. Poor Shev...he was in a bad place when this book ended. I hope he comes through his trials successfully.

How?

How does he keep writing this series and keeping it interesting. I would have expected it to fade a long time ago, but it is still a great series even now.

Average book in series. Would benefit from some editing.

Top Notch Science Fiction!
