If you get a buzz from dodging assassins, wheeling and dealing, and zooming around space at FTL speed, then check out this SF military adventure . . . When Ky engages the enemy, Moon does a cracking job of engaging youA rollercoaster ride of combat and intrigue. Fast-moving action set in a classic space-opera universe, with plenty of plot surprises and a likeably tough heroine
Gorgeous . . . I galloped through them . . . I don't know when I enjoyed a trilogy so much
Strong characterisation, subtle humour and a feel for military SF make this dynastic space opera a strong addition for all SF collections
