Prequel to The Void War (but stands alone)
Excellent space opera. A short novel and good entertainment.
Action takes place before Void Wars, but not necessary to read first.
Good writing, entertaining action, realistic characters. 4 stars only because of length.

Good read
Nothing much, just more of old age story set in the future. I was expecting it to be able to get my attention. Instead I felt like it was an old read.
