Definitely looking forward to the rest of the series. Miles is a really interesting character, and the setting is very fun.
Le cuesta un poco más coger ritmo y las circunstancias parecen algo más forzadas que en el anterior, pero una vez Miles entra en acción, es otra maravilla. ¡Quiero más!
One thing I love about this series is that the status quo significantly changes from book to book as a reaction to the plot.
This is the book where Miles learns about being a commander. When to give orders, when to follow them, when to get out of the way, and when to rebel. The plot includes arctic military bases slowly going crazy with cabin fever, looming intergalactic war, and space pirates.

Another satisfying reread— which held up better than the first Miles book, more like the rest of the series; enough twisty plot details that I didn’t remember how it all went and got to enjoy it fresh. I’d forgotten quite how military the early novels were, which is less to my taste here, but the book did a good job of actually exploring military ethics. I also liked how believable Miles is as a sort of prodigy— talent without experience or patience.

Really good book. Miles is slowly descending into insanity and I enjoy it. It was a bit of a mish-mash since a Novella was integrated into it but other than that I was a solid read.
Oh dear, I think I might be hooked after all. Miles really is delightful, for a young male protagonist, and the plot twists carry one along from one thing to the next.
Después de Brothers in Arms volvemos atrás el tiempo a la época en que el joven Miiles, recién graduado de la academia, recibe su primer destino en una remota estación meteorológica. A partir de ahí lo que suele pasar con Miles: se une a un motín, lo mandan a una misión para quitarlo de en medio mientras se aclara el asunto, lo secuestran, se fuga, recupera el control de sus mercenarios, rescata al emperador y frustra una invasión de Cetaganda, en una frenética huida hacia adelante. Genial
Me lo he releído y me ha gustado otro montón. Miles aguanta 30 años y probablemente aguantará otros 30.
