Ratings and reviews

Another excellent installment of the Posleen War. This one seemed more focused in scope than Gust Front, with a slightly smaller cast. It also helped that nearly all of these characters we've met in previous books, so sorting them out wasn't such a pain. The crew of Bun-Bun are hilarious. There was a lot less Michael O'Neal than prior books, but the story stayed so interesting with the other characters that wasn't a problem. The story was very well paced, lots of action with interesting characters that I actually care about. The eBook was well formatted with no noticeable spelling/grammar errors. Thanks to Baen for the free eBook edition.

Another awesome book from Mr. Ringo.

fun light read clever.
