First Peacemaker #3
The Weight of Order
The Charter is signed. The Galactic Knights Uniformed is born.
And yet, Alexander faces a whole new success.
With the galaxy drowning in the chaos of the Afterfall, the fledgling Galactic Knights Uniformed is stretched thin. Trade agreements need mediation. Border disputes require careful observation, while the greatest conflict looms above it all.
The galaxy's major powers are pushing outward, expanding their dominions and trapping Alexander and his associates in the middle.
Sacrifices will be made. Friendships challenged. Convictions will be tested.
With a crucial peace summit approaching, Alexander stumbles onto a sinister plot.
Now the only question remains is, can he defuse it before it's too late?

An uneasy truce between the T'Shari and the Eridani may be broken....
The two warlike races, the T'Shari and the Eridani are currently not at war, but are certainly eyeing each other with distrust as war could be triggered. The Peacemakers try to live up to their name, to minimize any conflict between the two but there are forces attempting to bring on the conflict. Founder's Grace, the home of the Peacemakers, is falling apart, perhaps naturally, but also perhaps aided by others...and Four is deteriorating for reasons unknown...
Peace is tottering on a knife's edge as the Peacemakers a attempt to negotiate between all the different races and help resolve any conflicts before war can start...but others may be working against them.
Double crosses, suspense, mystery, advances in technology, espionage, and friendship all lead to a captivating read of the early years of the Galactic Knights Uniformed.

Determination to succeed
Alexander and the rest of the GKU are busier than ever trying to stamp out the worst of the brushfires that are sparking up faster than they can put them out. They are coming to the realization that they are facing multiple threats against their plans to foster peace in a tinderbox galaxy. Worse, they’re not sure what groups are utterly incapable of making any peace treaty without their secretly plotting to break it and make other groups seem like the culprit.
This book covers a significant amount of the problems facing the GKU as they attempt to promote their ideals in hopes of preventing all out chaos from burning down the possibility for a peaceful solution. But it becomes clear that some unknown powers prefer chaos…

Pitifully Weak & Bad
“The Weight of Order (The First Peacemaker Book 3)” is pitifully weak and bad, continuation of another Variant product. This one lists three (3) authors who allegedly penned the dreck and drivel, though this reader surmises due to the writing patterns (i.e. incessant repetition of words/phrasing), writing software templates (likely AI-driven) are the main ‘authors.’
It’s not worthy of any stars.

Love it - very well weaved
I really loved this novel. It made me read with teary eyes a few times on how Alex and Four interacted, their willingness to do what was right and also to do what it took to save a friend. It also made one think about the definition of “sentient beings “. Reading these series of novels is a great tie-in with “ The Backyard Spaceship “ series. I really enjoyed this one

It truly amazes me that mear morals can imagine the same things that I have imagined when I'm imagining. The BYSS universe is a place I wish I could visit someday.

Great read...
I am thoroughly enjoying these books! It's so cool to see how It's so cool to see how the peacemakers formed and what they went through. And how Anvil Dark came to be.
