*I received this novel through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*
This novel picked up almost right where the previous installment ended. Max and his crew, with a few new faces, are charged with a mission to visit Wothim-Biggs-a man whom Bram met in book one-and some military and political maneuvering ensue.
The action is nearly nonstop in this one. The Cumberland moves from battle to battle, getting her share of scrapes along the way. The characters are fun and we get to know them more throughly. As always, the spacer jargon is interesting and well presented. A very enjoyable read with a satisfactory ending.

This book was amazing. By turns, it made me laugh, cry, tear my hair out, bite my nails off, and cheer. This series is definitely one of the best I have ever read.
Initially, this second installment didn't grab me as firmly as the first one had. The overall plot structure seemed a little weak, jumping from one thing to another. However, it really picked up as it went on.
The aquatic alien race introduced in book 1 make a return appearance, but we also get to delve into another alien race, and get a little more insight into galactic history.
The story climaxed in a collection of scenes so tense that I simply couldn't stop listening. I felt the same emotions as the protagonist, wondering, but afraid to find out, what would happen next.
All in all this was an exciting and enjoyable read, which compels me forward toward book three.

The "Man of War" Series by Mr. Honsinger was a fun space opera type read, with an amazing amount of detail and plausible sounding future science (at least to me). I read all three of the first three books in the series, one after the other, so I did notice some minor things that a stand-alone book reader would not notice. The Medical Officer's personality is presented significantly differently from book 1, then book 2, then book three made him appear to be much less likable as a character. I am still astonished at how someone is able to create this complex a storyline and keep track of everyone and everything, and not make a jumble of it. Kudos to a fun quality read. Recommended. (note; there is some profanity that would be appropriate to a military setting such as was presented in this book. Enough so that it might be offputting for some.)
The continuing adventures of Max Robichaux and the USS Cumberland as it does battle with the Krag. This was a fun action filled read that finished up in a small cliffhanger leading into the the next book in the series. For those reading along, you will find all the protagonists introduced in the first book in lots of new action scenes. I will say that their were some things about the book that I could have done with a little less of, one being the continued scenes where the Doctor is shown as a clueless idiot in regard to naval activities and at the same time held up as a highly observant overachiever in many other areas. Hopefully the author will let the almost snide and somewhat sarcastic comments regarding this die off in the the third book as this lowered my rating on this book. Still a fun read though.
4 Stars for a good read and recommended for those reading the series.
