The Coalition #6
Action
It was an easy job—until the pirates showed up—but ultimately, Dahkal and Ryan completed their contract on the planet Ruul and ended up with the mining rights to the entire planet. But when their new Emerald Dragons mercenary company returned to the Salvage System, they found Dahkal’s sister, Reuan, waiting for them. As only the heir of Shein is ever allowed to leave the Sheinrah System, the question was…why was she there?
When Dahkal learns of his father’s death in the Battle of Ascension with his brother, Gortal, Dahkal knows he must return home to put an end to Gortal’s tyrannical ways…or die trying. And it definitely won’t be easy, for Gortal has the might of the Sheingal military at his disposal, and, as Dahkal and Ryan well know, nothing ever goes according to plan.
But when the pirates return to Ruul, Dahkal’s loyalties will be tested. Will he take care of the people who put their trust in him, or will he cast them aside to challenge his brother? With several missions to complete, Dahkal will have to put together a force able to overcome the odds, while simultaneously accepting the loss of his father, protecting those around him, and retaining what’s his.
Can Dahkal, Ryan, and their band of misfit mercenaries prevail over their biggest challenge yet, or will they lose everything they’ve worked for…and more?

The book more or less (there is a small flashback, compared to the ending of Hesitation) where Hesitation left. Ryan and Dahkal, at last, understand the situation in the Sheingal empire, now that Dahkal's sister Reuan has managed to reach them.
In Action, Dahkal gains new allies and prepares to return to Sheingal to settle family matters!
In this book there is lots of action (given the title, not that surprising) and the story moves forward at an enjoyable pace: install miners on the planet Ruul, plan the return to Shein, to name only a few.
We see less of the Sheingal empire in this volume but we get to understand a bit more what drives the Bieratang, the half-mercenary, half-pirate race which tries to move Dahkal's mining acquisition, the planet Ruul. We (readers) are the only ones (with the Bieratang and Dahkal's crew) who know what the system really means in terms of riches and Dahkal knows an opportunity when he sees one.
Want to know more? Read the book! Can't wait for the next opus!

Cliffhanger!
Great story, but it ends on a cliffhanger!
Just a fun read that reminds me of young Heinlein. I look forward to the next book!
