This is an excellent story with believable political plotting with excellent military tactical combat. If you like military combat related fiction with a fully filled out back story of a decaying Empire this book is for you. Marines are always loyal to their own even if the political picture around them is corrupt and failing.The author lays the foundation for understanding much about Captain Stalker and his small command set on Avalon. Nattall's portrayals are honest and believable, and the military and political insights make for good story telling. The ending is set up to start a nice space opera with a very bright future. I just am not going into the book details; All I am saying is I am sure this is one of those books in my library that I will be rereading in the future.As a rule I do not write a review very often but I really want to read more aboutCaptain Stalker, and selfishly the more people who share my excitement for this story line the more likely we will see additional successes from the author. Any down side? A professional editor would smooth out the reading experience.
