Review: No surprises, too much moralizing

The author did this before you know?Simply put, there are no challenges after the first part. Once they get back into space, it's too easy. They have overwhelming firepower, everyone instantly agree that they are right (or they are just evil - and shown to be evil), and the author have the exact same moralizing as in his previous works.Now, I really did enjoy the first few books by this author, and for those that have read that series, I would say that I had hoped that this book would be a restart of the things he did well there - when it wasn't an all-powerful entity (star realm) never really having any problems and beating everything instantly with no challenges. So ... the first 3 books or so. I had hoped this book would go back to that point ... where they aren't all powerful, and there are actual challenges.Sadly, he doesn't.Well, he does for the first third or half of the book. But after that ... no challenges. At all. Everything is too easy.I can't recommend this book - I would suggest that you skip it, unless you loved all of his previous work. And if you haven't read it, go back to his first series and check out the first book - it's so much better of an introduction to his universe, and it's leagues above this one.
