Review: Sorilla Fights on a Smaller Stage
Rating: 4 out of 5

Mr. Currie put his heroine, Sorilla Aida, into a different, smaller environment in his latest book.  There are too many typos, but I will confine my remarks to his story.  This is about the politics of the Alliance, and the alien-ness of some of its peoples is kept well outside the frame.  Mr. Currie first focuses on a diplomatic mission and its protection and need for intelligence, subjects that I suspect may disappoint many of his fans with their ordinariness.  The action does heat up albeit within the tighter confines of an orbiting station and then a spaceship that host the talks.  There is an extended combat sequence that is all about gravity that I thought was first-rate.Sorilla is hardly the only woman warrior in sci-fi, but the combination of her physical talents, powered battle armor, weapons, and implants that get more awesome with each volume make her the deadliest that I can think of.  She's the reason anyone should stick with this series, even if most readers judge that this volume fell short of the rest.
