A great backstory for an expansive universe

B.C. is great at developing not only a fantastic universe with a stunning amount of detail, but very likeable characters who you want to know more and more about.

Wow. That was a really good story. Interesting premises. Intriguing plot. Awesome characterization. I loved Lees. I loved his crews. I especially loved the 'cat'. I'll have to hunt down the sequel when I'm ready for another SF.

Enterramiento reading

Es una buena lectura de aventuras, interesante propuesta de ciencia en el futuro. Diferencia es que el malo no lo es tanto.

This is a very interesting read, however, I almost didn't finish it. I read this story as part of The Galactic Genesis Compendium. I stars out slowly, and the beginning premise to me was a bit flimsy. Something about the book, and the writing style compelled me to continue reading. The book does pick up steam and the characters take on a life of their own. This story has some very interesting twists and turn in it. This book also stretches the boundarie of what is good and what is evil. I am off to read Empire's Soldier
