Rating: 5 out of 5

Read, and re-read and here's my opinion.I have to admit that when I finished the book, I was surprised. It wasn't the same as the previous books and as the events unfold, Jason acted quite different compared to first 2 books. Not necessarily bad thing though, cant have the same thing over and over, it only grows stale then.So, how can I decide on what grade to give this book?As the previous books hooked me up and focused more on the major characters and in my opinion is the Best Space Opera books I've ever read,  this book was more action-based while at same time fleshing out more minor characters. On my second reading of the book while taking it slower, I realized that this is what the series needed. Everyone who have read the previous books would have known it could never last, that sometime the luck would turn around, and that is what we see in this book.I'm going to decide the verdict for the book according to the following:Pro:- Fleshed out characters, but not taking half a book to do so.- Not a boring moment, ever. Never did I skip a single page.- Proper wording, no sentences that made no sense.- The feelings the book leaves you with after reading it.- The fact I re-read it the next day.- High temp, great actual competent villains.- More action/initiative from Trembley. (No stale characters)- Ending the book, leaving you thinking of what "What could I have done if I was in the shoes of someone in there?" "What will happen now?"Cons:- Jason not being quite himself as the previous books, not as paranoid nor being as involved in the affairs that unfold.- Focusing a bit to much on the minor characters while not quite as much on the main one. (However, it must be taken into consideration that this book was originally with the next book that comes out, a monster book, both books into one. However being released as two different books)- Bethany `disappeared', she got sent to the brig, then what? Been assured she will appear in next book though.Conclusion: No of the Cons is a book breaker, the only major impact one of the cons had on the book was the first one. However, all the Pro's easily uplift the book.Verdict: 4,5 stars out of possible 5.I must say, the Spinewards Sector Novel is the Best Space Opera on Amazon!
