Review: Worthy addition to the Riss Series
Rating: 5 out of 5

The Riss Accession continues the story of Nayda Reese and her co-pilot Riss named Thalia. The story moves somewhat slower than in the other four books. The reason being we are seeing how much planning and coordinating goes into fighting a war.  We see how SAS goes about building allies and determining who really are friends within this new Alliance.  The SAS,UFN,JPU and the clans, must find a way to co exist long enough to win the war against invading aliens. A lot of time is spent in strategy meetings,on logistics,on building new warships, and obtaining and training crews for the new ships. There are mistakes, misunderstandings, frayed tempers,egos and bigotry present at most all of the planning sessions.Bigotry is alive and well in the SAS military and deeply entrenched  in the command structure.  The Admirals and Generals must find ways to eliminate some of the hatred, fear and disgust towards the Riss and Riss humans. If they can not, it will cost them the alliance with the Riss Nation. Without the High Riss Technology SAS will fall to the Aliens.I love the snarky, funny and absolutely hysterical comments between Nadya and Thalia. Lots of characters from the first four books are back.  I hope this author will add more books to this series.
