Review: Things go badly for the Admiral
Rating: 5 out of 5

The development of the core character continues and the author fills my expectations again. Admiral's Tribulation pushes the tension between the Royalists and parliamentary forces to open combat. The secret war of planetary politics becomes clear to the reader and the dark side of that plot line puts our favorite crew into high tempo conflicts which turn out pretty grim for key characters.I like an author that kills of core characters (no spoilers). The writing's point of view is different from the past novels and works well in building out the main protagonists and support characters like Tremblay. But I have to say I really hope the next book in the series switches back to Jason as the focus. The 'Little Admiral' places more of the role as the tragic figure in the plot now; so we see his weakness rather than his heroics (a reasonable set up for the next book).All in all, the story continues on an eventful set of twists which will please fans of the series and you should read the story. I can only hope the next book is out rather quickly because the cliff hangers are killing me.
