Review: Part one
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 4, 2011
Although a good book and I will read the next one in the series when it is released (The Phoenix Rising) I would have liked to know that it was part of a series before I started reading it as it does not stand completely on its own as a self contained novel and leaves many loose ends that will be continued.There are many refreshing new ideas in this book which when it starts seems to be almost a traditional detective story but set in space, however this soon changes track and it is obvious that something major is amiss in the empires space fleet. I did however find some of the plot slightly thin such particularly where loyalties to the command structure seemed to change at a whim.Overall a good book that is well worth reading.
