Review: A world smashing series that knows no limits

The author just continues to churn out one hit after another. The plot gets grander, the action grittier and the characters more desperate. This series reminds me of the heady days of sci-fi past. The days when authors such as S.M. Stirling lured us into the world of the Draka, J.E. Pournelle took us for a ride through the Co-dominion or David Drake had as creating scrap metal with Colonel Alois Hammer. Heady company to be a part of and no small feat. Mr.Heppner has created a fascinating complex world with each book revealing a new exciting layer the world and its desperate inhabitants. Its the kind of world and plot that leads one to read one page after another very hesitantly to put the book done until reaching the end and hoping that the wait for a sequel will not be to long. As an aside, one does not have to read the previous books to appreciate this book but it does help to see how the character that is Marten Kruge developed as a person from his previous travails!
