This may be the best book in the series.In terms of character development, the secondary actors are well fleshed out, and the character of "Top" Sorilla is more than that of just a Special Forces hard ass.We get an insight into the enemy and a war that probably should not have happened and neither side wanted.  The question is left begging why neither side tried to stop shooting long enough to figure out that the other one wanted to talk.  Maybe that will happen in a later book.All that aside, this is a really good book.  There is a lot of action.  Unlike the first book, the distances are not handled in a cavalier manner.  We don't have people trekking 100 Kilometers in 3 hours through dense jungle.I found the tactics of the Alliance squadrons to be  unexpected and challenging enough to keep the beleaguered human forces fighting an uphill battle, in the finest traditions of Nimitz, or the original HMS Hood, or the Japanese Navy at the Philippine Sea.In conclusion, this book is a real page turner, or if you get it in Kindle, it is a real button pusher.
