Review: Better than the previous two or three!
Rating: 4 out of 5

I wasn't sure how BV Larson was going to keep this series fresh -- in the last several iterations, it was just more of the same starship or world fighting against strange aliens:  adequate reads and, if you liked what you were getting, more of the same was just fine, especially for the price point.  The characters slowly developed and the plot was just spicy enough to keep you interested.Number 7 doubles down on the adventure, plot twists and adds to the drama unlike any of the previous four or five.  In this one, Riggs' Star Force is at home on an alien planet in a heavy cold war with Earth and trying to stave off Macro attacks and manage diplomatic relations with Crustaceans.  When General Kerr arrives from Earth on a diplomatic mission, the politics get very interesting, especially when a major character is unexpectedly killed -- things get very interesting then!!If you're a fan, you'll love this one.  If not, well, you probably haven't made it this far anyway but start at number one!  This is of the best in the series -- thanks for re-energizing the story!
