Mr. Manning's craft continues to improve. This time around every character grows, develops and deserves our attention & sympathy. Even characters I haven't liked before are now solid, three dimensional people, every character makes difficult choices and suffers the consequences.I just read one of the critical reviews, and if you were expecting the conflict to escalate to a universe spanning epic combat where mountains get levelled and planets are destroyed.... that doesn't happen. There are big fights, but in Manning's universe "powerful" doesn't always mean "Biggest fists".  I was content with the resolution.Solid book and I'll order the next one.
