With this book, the author starts a really interesting pattern. From here on out, every even-numbered book deals with the Terran Marines on Avalon. Every odd-numbered book (this is number three in the series) deals with a story set someplace else in the Empire. Some of the things that happen do affect the Marines on Avalon eventually, but really these odd-numbered books could stand on their own. It's a really interesting idea, and well-executed. The author sees that a world with the depth and complexity of the universe he has invented must contain more than one interesting story in it, and he's letting us see some of those.
