As someone who  voraciously tears through Amazon's sci-fi section, more often than not you find works that leave something to be desired; sometimes a he'll of a lot to  be desired. It  my experience that the Wachter brothers are EXCELLENT writers who  can spin a science fiction story with the best of them.Caleb Wachter has introduced a well written story that flows well, containing multiple substories which seem to, in conjunction with fairly good "battle scenes" (May be a bit glossed over for some folks) together to form an excellent read. The Wachters are pretty good about paying attention to all  aspects of their works.They pay attention to the battles making sure the number  of ships, men, and celestial objects are accounted for, for the reader. They don't ignore politics or make their character  deliberately obtuse, like the wandering engineer series. And they remember to pay attention the the people themselves that make up the stories, concerning their own trials, tribulation s, and personal growth.I have to admit readers, I may be bit biased, I buy everything the Wachter brothers turn out for this space opera.But I put them right up there with Campbell, Weil, Dandridge, Allan, Larson, Scalzi, and Nuttall.In sort discerning sci-fi fans, it's worth the buy.
