As usual for Mr. Weil, this book is a well-written page-turner of the first caliber.  Dealing with a first contact with a slaver race and Humanity's almost-eradication, the story documents how the military slaves are helped to escape by another subjugated race and turn the tables on their captors.  The book ends on the cusp of humankind and their ally setting out to take the fight to their enemy.  Fast pace, lost of action as well as a societal overview, I thoroughly enjoyed the read.There were a few minor typos/homophone errors, but very few; the one thing that did annoy me was Mr. Weil's use of the southern 'what all' that kept popping up in the narrative.  If a southern character were to use this in conversation, all well and good, but please don't use it as part of your descriptive writing!Looking forward to the next one.
