The stakes are high for Fleet Chief Forbes and the Dellan League, find a planet or perish. Gus Johansson and his crew of unlikely heroes are the only thing standing in the way of the Dellan conquest of his friends on peaceful Matria. Gus will need to use every trick in the book, call in some favors, and find allies if they are going to get out of this mess.
Lots of battles, connections, new characters and story threads help finish this series. The majority of story threads are resolved by the end of the book, though not always as anticipated, and a few remain open. Those characters who we have followed throughout the series do survive the last battle though how many survive the last Beltane dance remains a mystery.
The worldbuilding is interesting, especially with the hint in the epilogue that history may not be what everyone is told. HAM and Ophelia are awesome, as are all Gus's crew and supporting characters. The story is enjoyable with several hilarious and heartwarming plot twists. I'm looking forward to book 4.
A good finish to the first two. Still lots of action.
Lots of action, still a bit lighter than most space warfare books. It ended the trilogy nicely, while leaving room for a 'Continued Adventures of the Corvus' book. I would definitely recommend it.
This is the last in a series of three. All of them were among the best books I have read in ages. Fast action, delightfully engaging and endearing characters, and a lot of fun. Would highly recommend.

All of the series is fun escapism. Bigger than life characters in a grand adventure. Took off a star because the were too many characters to keep track of, and not enough description too differentiate.
I found this series to be very interesting reading and a great escape from the heat of summer. Also freely admit that I am extremely excited for the next book in the series. A new fan!
I actually purchased the second and third book of the series before I was half way thru the first one. Realized quickly that I love this guy's writing.
