Near the end of book 2 of this fantastic series, Taggart's entire family has been named along with the part they play in this saga as well as the role that they played, currently play an/or will be called to play as the reader moves along.

Tate, the Eldest, believes in rules and the law. To that effect, he is district commander in this part of the Universe with the Colonial Militia. He has and always had a special kinship with Taggart, the youngest of the brood but had to leave him behind when he joined the academy.

Carole Ann is the black sheep of the family. She couldn't get away fast enough from home and didn't even care that she left he r younger brother in the hands of a poor excuse for a father.
She joined the Sleepwalkers, is their leader and does not care who gets killed or maimed as long a s it is not her.

Wollet, the poor excuse for a father, does everything we all insulated by others so that they get blamed, incarcerated, beaten or killed for his own crimes. Always looking for the easy score, he is a compulsive complainer.

Taggart is the soft hearted baby brother with his own baggage and the main character of this series.

The author is a great pleasure to read. The plot is great, the characters stellar and the gift that he uses makes the reader so much closer to the characters and the arena where the plot plays out.

I highly recommend this book and rate it with 5 Stars.

Good read.

This book was a good read and there was plenty of action both in space and on planets that it kept you wanting to keep reading to see what happened next. Great storyline and it fits in well with the rest of the series so far.

Good book in series

Good book in series. Does not stand alone well by itself though as it ends abruptly. But as part of the series it works fine.

This is a really solid sequel in the series, but to really enjoy you need to have read the first two books in the series.

But find them and enjoy youself.
