The First Volume in the Acclaimed Series from Fred Kennedy and Miko Maciaszek! A stolen warship loaded with runaway human slaves, Lightstorm, has crashed on an alien planet with three warring races, the most advanced of which has only just begun using gunpowder weaponry. Vastly outnumbered, will the humans become the very thing they were running away from?
I enjoyed this volume. It was engaging enough plotwise. Not a lot of character depth, but it was sufficient for the needs of the story telling. Could have used a little more backstory. The journal notes and throw away anecdotes could've been replaced by more backstory on the characters and their motivations. But I guess theses are strings which will be connected in the ensuing volumes.
