Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 23, 2013
Nuttall's writing continues to improve.Nuttall depicts the collapse of an interstellar empire, complete with ineffective government, coup attempts, collapse of civic services, overgrasping and ineffective bureacracies, and all the rest.  The actual fate of a modern area whose technology collapses shines through.  Unlike prior books in the series, this is not primarily a big-battle military SF volume.  We see a few individuals, most without military training, suffering multiple weaknesses while doing their limited best to contest a very local area.  Rumors that the good guys are invincible prove incorrect.
