After reviewing the first book in the series, I haven't stopped reading the next, and the next, etc., books to write more reviews. I decided this was a good time to take a little break and do that, since I am both looking forward and dreading reading the last book.Thank goodness Campbell wrote another series with many of the same characters following this one!It's obvious that I am loving these books! The author has a real gift for making characters and situations "real", and pulling you into their lives. The battles are described in such a way, that it's as if you are on the bridge, looking over Johns shoulder. The Times in between engagements, where the Captains and Co-President are making moral decisions, discussing tactics, and philosophy/spiritual beliefs, are thought provoking, not heavy handed or preachy.Several problems are resolved in this book, with several more looming ahead. I can't wait to see what happens next!This series, IMO, is a perfect balance of Space Opera, hard Sc/Fi, and suspense. If you are a fan of those things, you'll love this series too!I give it a solid 4 1/2 stars!
