This is the first book in the series to deal with the downfall of Earth and the Empire's downfall from a direct perspective. The society of Earth has changed so dramatically that we wouldn't think of the planet as home if we were there. It would just be too foreign. Yet it is still the center of human occupied space and the home-world of our race. A despotic "parliament" controls the empire and through greed and willful ignorance they have broken the back of the interstellar empire's ability to govern. This book shows the downfall of that system from various points of view that give a "grand" picture of the process as well as creates a couple of characters that I hope will see in future books. It is my hope that sometime in the future of the series, this plot line will encounter the Avalon plot line. It should provide an intriguing and potentially disastrous encounter.Two thumbs up on another well written book!
