Review: Old school space opera
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 11, 2013
I liked this fast paced story with lots and lots of space ships, an evil and utterly corrupt empire, entertaining person gallery and space battles.The hero is an ex Empire officer gone rogue after betrayal by his mentor - now out to reform the Empire back towards a democratic foundation without nepotism, abuse and exploitation.There are almost no women in the story, and the few there are sometimes seems to be put in there to cater for the female readers also; but it is primarily a 'boy story'. No holds barred and action-action-action.Certain characters are almost caricatures, eg. The Pirate Officer; but overall very entertaining.I will be reading the next thing from Nuttall :-)
