Once again Nuttall has delivered a smashing space adventure, gnarly and engaging. This series is worth reading, if only for the political ramifications and nothing else. Qui Bono when an empire begins? And who sustains it as it expands? Are there any good guys? Were there any good guys when Caesar crossed the Rubicon? Questions that need debate, and fresh air. These books aren't just Western in space. Reason and find out.
Classic Nuttall yarn that is tightly crafted, true to the character, and drives the whole series forward. Not just a string of intense battles (yet those abound) but a wide scope of behaviors to contemplate.
Fabulous storyline. I think the introduction of the "enemy" characters was brilliant, as it provided an insight and understanding why they felt the need to rebel. My one dislike was the unnecessary use of bad language. Otherwise a highly recommended read.
Brilliant book. Leo is given command of a revolutionary new ship only to have it taken away by an admiral who thinks he knows better, the new captain turns out to be a problem which |Leo has to overcome. I look forward to the next book
