Spinward Fringe - The Official Group discussion

I thought I'd open the spoiler-rich, fear free discussion of the latest Spinward Fringe novel, Warpath here so people on the Facebook community page wouldn't have to shield their eyes. https://www.facebook.com/randolph.lal...

So, have at it, and don't worry about spoiling a thing - if you're here, you've already read the book from cover to cover. If you haven't, then you should run away!

Just me or is Citadel making Wheeler look like choir boy? LOL

I am beginning to like Frost again!

Before I dive into broadcast 9 - are there any websites out there that are posting summaries of the prior books? It's been a while since I've read them (especially before 8) and would like to read summaries instead of the whole books all over again (so many books, so little time)....

I will be writing something up in a few weeks, the best I can offer at the moment is the listing page.

that's a start, then! Thanks for the quick reply.... keep up the great work!

Re-Read the books, You'll be glad you did...

No kidding! Little wonder SOL System turfed them out.

I knew it was going to be Dr. Anderson who said the quote about the secret location. He is the quintessential spook and to me I just pictured him there when I read it.

Just finished the book. All I can say is Captain you are a master wordsmith, and I am constantly amazed at the depth of story and individual character development you are able to achieve. This is by far one of my favorite books from the series. Agameg is awesome and I would love to see (if you ever have time) a book about his backstory. His development through the books is astronomical and I can only imagine what adventures and lessons he learned throughout his life that made him such an amazing character. Seriously, matchmaker Agameg is by far the best part of the book, and his and Finn's relationship is one of the best match ups.

Warpath is my favorite of the series, couldn't put it down and anxiously looking forward to the next.

I am wondering who is at the top of the Citadel. we haven't heard anything from Munoz in a while and since he's been plugged in to a planet and has its computing power now, I'm wondering if he isn't the one pulling the strings solely via computer based orders. or if he replaced the leadership himself.

I understand that Sol forced Citadel to flee the system, however with their technology they should see that Citadel is being manipulated from some outside source. Going from being a passive observation organization to direct involvement extra sol system is a big twist that the individual agents should recognize, including the agent that Anderson has caged up in that basement. any other thoughts on this?

I do love this series, but I can't help but wonder if this book left this part of the plot out due to time constraints rather than size constraints.

This would definitely bring the Triton and the Rega Gain system, namely Ayan and Oz in direct contact with Sol.

We have heard how advanced Sol is compared to the rest of the galaxy, including quantum particle receivers and other transit methods, I can't help but wonder if Sol has an endgame already in place for the Edxi and framework technologies.

please feel free to speculate or counter my theories at will!

There have been several references to Sol System preparing for a conflict in the past that didn't happen. (Edxi?) Now Sol System has closed its border and cut contact with the galaxy just when the Edxi are using Order planets to raise new broods in untold millions.

Citadel also working directly with Regent/Order forces. I wondered for a bit if Citadel were infiltrating the Order. But torture, murder and openly engaging in combat - seems too foreign to Sol philosophy.

Lorander has lent major assistance but are now leaving the Galaxy to get clear of what's coming. Seems a safe prediction that Triton Fleet and British Alliance will be seriously outmatched by the Order or Edxi if Sol doesn't intervene.
