I must start by saying I really enjoyed this book. It was simple escapist fun featuring a future world with evil men fighting for power, pirates who end up as freedom fighters and a touch of romance, betrayal, religion and most other things!The author gives us a view of the future, which though unlikely to occur, seems possible because we recognise various aspects of this dystopian future as having been a reality in the past. E.g. persecution of religion and people with mental or physical disabilities being sent to death camps by evil dictators.You coud pick holes in some aspects of the plot and characterisation e.g. I thought Amari converted rather easily from blood thirsty pirate to hero but so what, it's an adventure story and you could pick similar holes in Star Wars and most Science Fiction because by nature it is dealing with an imaginary future. So suspend your disbelief and just enjoy this fast paced adventure. Cheer for the good guys and enjoy the bad guys getting what they deserve!I really look forward to the next book in this series.
