So here we are at the end? of the series at #8. This has become one of my all time favorite space operas. From the first book Firestar, I realized this was something very special. The main story plot is about a planet were women have evolved to dominate society out of necessity, and are desperately trying to fend off an Empire that views them as slave merchandise. The cast of characters constantly grows and evolves to fill the ever expanding galactic conflict. The writing is top notch. It excels in character development and dialog. Space combat and tactics are some of the best ever put to paper or e-paper. Peppered with various cultures and politics seamlessly. Side story's and plots within plots keep you guessing.I thoroughly enjoyed this series, and hope there is more to come.
