A great finish to a super series. Continuing the theme, this still reads like a more action-y Weber (or a less "macho" Ringo, honestly), which is great. Even though the focus is very much on "action", the whole story told by this trilogy is more complex than you might think. There's plenty of trickery and plotting to go around. I will certainly read the rest of the entries in this world.

An interesting conclusion to the first three books. With quite a few surprises along the way.

Glad Goodreads recommended the book to me, otherwise I'd have never found out about it.

I did not like the ending to this book.

1996 review: The third of the Space Opera Trilogy, a great series, I read this book in two sittings--the series is a great entry in the space-opera subgenre. Fun, there were betrayals and the true murderer of Perada Rosselin-Metadi finally showed up in unexpected guise. My only quibble is that the ending was a little too smooth, a little too happy-ever-after for everyone. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to reading the prequel to the trilogy.
