The first part of this book describes the fleet academy and how Earth is being prepared to face the Hocklyns in the future. It spends quite a bit of time on character development, and I assume some of these new characters will be in the next book. The second half of the book is a page-turner. The action picks up and you are kept in suspense waiting to see what happens next. The ending is fantastic and what I would expect from one of Mr. Weil's books.Ariel the intelligent AI is once more portrayed, and I just wonder what role she will play in future books. I hope she is included. This book makes a fabulous addition to this series and paves the way for the next. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Can't wait for the next book in the series to come out.
