Some exploration of elements that have been lurking around from the start and mostly good character progression.
4/5 Some rather jarring but not objectionable developments.

Very good installment in a very good series. Love the last page and it's ballsy cliffhanger.

Furthering the introduction of some very important characters who join on (for lack of a better term) with the USS Excalibur's crew, book eight in Peter David's "New Frontier" series has a bit of a hard time in its telling (it gets awkward in places), but has an absolutely unfair cliffhanger ending that'll leave you waiting for more.
As always, it's the slight humour blended with the sharp characterizations that make the series worth reading. The inclusion of Si Cwan's sister and Calhoun's son serve as strong plot points.
