This is the Second Installment of the "Ark Royal" series which pits Earth, led by Great Britain (I know, I know) against a mysterious race of technologically superior aliens.  This is a very fun story and I am enjoying the Britain-centric (Anglocentric?) perspective of this novel.  The aliens remain mysterious, the combat sections are pretty good, and Nuttall manages to develop several of the characters in this one pretty nicely.  I'm not sure that I buy the idea of the French being a Great Space Power, but hey, maybe.  Anyway, it is all great fun and a fast enjoyable read.  At least two more novels are forthcoming according to the author and I am ready for them. To the author: I would like to know what is happening with the Prince.  To readers: read the book and you'll know what I mean, no spoilers here. RJB.
