The Swarm have been eradicated from Earth's solar system and humanity is safe for the moment.
But the rot within the IDF remains a problem. The saboteurs who wanted asteroid battleship Colossus gone have escaped Captain Mamoru Suzuki's relentless pursuit. And the United Earth bureaucrats have seized Griffin Poldark's new ship, the Swift, and all its cargo.
Now Poldark and his crew must venture deep into Russian Confederation space and hire on with miners, pirates and privateers in order to make back what they lost, all the while hoping that Suzuki doesn't hold a grudge.
But the IDF has picked Suzuki to head a new mission deep into Russian space and his orders are to arrest or kill its number one suspect in the attempt to destroy Colossus: Griffin Poldark!
John Frater has continued this series to a logical conclusion and left the door open to continued adventures with an interesting cast of characters. I enjoyed the fast paced adventure and the complete exploration of science fiction. Any scify fan will through!y enjoy this series.
The bad…some minor hiccups in editing but not enough to spoil the tale. The good…lots of interesting characters and a solid plot. Very enjoyable. I stayed up late to finish.
I'm a fan of military scifi. This was a good example of that genre, even if the writer don seems to have naval experience. The story is solid and engaging with good character development. I can only recommend this book to sci-fi enthusiasts.
From why in the world would you subject your crew to this level of stupid imagination..., to fast moving combat and situational adaptation. Very fast read cause you won't put it down. Ending is kind of curious
