The last (for me) Dominic Flandry tale. Pretty good interstellar intrigue.

Reading in timeline order and there is a big jump between books. This one has Flandry with a grown son almost 27. His life seemed like it was on the upswing, a son he liked and enjoyed spending time with, a new woman who brought love into his life and then he loses it all. Then he has to destroy a treasure planet to stop an old enemy. I confess, my very favourite character in all these books is CHIVES.

I didn't realize this was part of a series. Maybe it'd make a difference if I already like the main character and the world. At any rate, I had a hard time keeping track of the alien planets, the alien governments on those planets, and which alien races lived on which plant and was trying to stir up political discord where. The writing style is a bit flowery or high fantasy or something for my taste. It's a short enough book, but I had to power through the last hundred pages to get to s sort of interesting but not very satisfying ending. Not my cup of tea.
