Anastasia Seivers is a combat pilot, and a great one. Now she's down on an icy ball of rock with a dead ship and a dead ship AI - 'Percy' for short, aka 'The Perception of Prejudice'. Within the system she has not a single friend, and space is occupied by patrolling Nameric enemy vessels and the debris and wrecks of both enemy and Legion Libertus ships. And the enemy is searching the system, planet by moon by asteroid.
A great premise for a gripping novella, this is another short work within the Two Democracies world which Alasdair Shaw is carefully crafting, and which is currently my number one SF series. Shaw writes with a clean and engaging style, but develops characters with depth on every side, while delivering superb action along with a fascinating debate on the rights of sentient AI persons.
If you are not familiar with the series, you need a certain amount of background to fully appreciate this book - specifically, you should have read Prejudice. Without that you can still enjoy the tension and the action, but you will miss the nuances of personality, particularly on the Legion side.

Really excellent
I loved this book. The environment and the danger were compelling, but what really kept the pages turning for me were the characters. Advice: read the previous books in the series first.

This was just a quick read but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It was interesting to get some insight into the Namerics and I'm curious to know their whole story. I also enjoyed the survival part of the story with Seivers. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

9/10: Fantastic, left me wanting more.
Was it her imagination, or were they at attention?
This was great. I loved the struggle and determination of Sievers. An excellent addition to the series.

Intended Consequences
Intentionally or Not consequences has given Percy, Sievers AI, a unique place in her life. This may be their last bonding moments on this frozen moon.

Both sides are good guys
Interesting "enemies", I liked the interaction between the pilot and her ship. The other side act with honour , as they see it

Although I think this story betrayed a few signs of hasty writing which have not been evident in the earlier books, it is nevertheless enjoyable and a meaningful part of the ongoing story.
