Good reliable thud & blunder amongst the stars. Bunch and Cole continue doing what they do best, adapting their experiences of land and marine warfare to a far-flung future and a multi-galactic empire. Trust me, you will suspend disbelief as you rip through this page-turner. Admiral (no less!) Sten gets given his hardest task yet. So hard, in fact, that it takes 2 volumes to tell the tale. But hey, if you've got this far through the series, you'll know what you're getting and yes, sadly, that does include clottin' Laird Alex Kilgour doing things to the Scottish accent that shouldn't be done to a rabid dog!
All in all though, well worth a read.
