Lieutenant William Grace is the sole survivor of the Farshore genocide, the son of a rebel commander that won the war and lost the planet. That genocide led to the creation of the United Colonies, the thing William believes in most. The thing that seems to be falling apart in front of him. Now the Sa’Ami are held on one front and the Harmony Worlds on another.
He barely retains a command, an officer in a Navy that distrusts anyone not from Earth. He must lead a convoy to abandon a planet to its own fate. Given a mission designed to send him away from the war, a mission that goes against everything he believes in.
Luckily he’s not alone. He has a warship grown from an asteroid, and a crew of colonial misfits. But with a Navy that distrusts him, a corporate renegade who wants to manipulate him, a colony set on the path of treason, and a ship that will disassemble itself if he goes rogue, the stakes are as high as ever.
It will take every bit of his tactical skill, his innate sense of zero gravity combat, and his will to see the colonies survive. If he follows orders he’ll keep his oath, but if he makes a stand he might save the starsystem, or lose everything.
I had a hard time getting into this book. I enjoyed the first two books right off the bat,but this one took awhile to get interesting. Once it did, the book became hard to put down. I'd love to see Grace in another book!
Every bit as good as the other two books in the series. The series definitely left room for a futures of books and I hope to read them sometime in the not to distant future
