Review: Another hit in the series!!

I just finished reading Reality Check. Being an odd number in the series, this book did not involve the Marines or Avalon. When I first became aware that the series would spend all the even numbered volumes to follow the Marines on Avalon and the odd numbered ones would jump all over the universe and also jump around in time I found it a bit disconcerting. Now after seeing this done for several iterations I can say that it works very well indeed! I love getting a peek at other happenings in the Empire and being able to get even more information about what and why the Empire crashed into chaos.Christopher does an excellent job building characters that come alive on the page gives the reader something to latch onto. I find myself rooting for, or against, each person that is in the story by the time the book ends I am a bit sorry to see them go. I know that some of them will be coming back in future books and I look forward to each installment of the series.This world that is being created is something that should be able to stretch over many more volumes and I will keep buying them as they are released.
