Having read numerous books by Saxon Andrew, I give him a thumbs up as a writer.  But when it comes down to creativity, he needs to work harder.  He has no problem imagining problem solving science, but telling stories is a different matter.  Once you have read one or two of his books, it would be easy for the reader to see the same story told over and over.  It appears difficult for Mr Andrew to tell his story on progressively larger stages or about progressively evolved creatures (characters).  That is not to say his books are bad, but he should stick with shorter space operas.  By the time he wrote this volume, civilizations ere identified by color, the main story was to broad and easy to loose in all the upgrading of technology, planning, and relationships.  It was just too difficult to encompass so many species, galaxies, so many battles encompassing billions of warring spaceships and still tell a personal story we all can relate to.
