Third in an excellent space adventure series. The action does get a bit clunky at times and the political maneuvering can get confusing (who knew what when how, again?). Fun technology idea (humans sing to alien spacecraft) isn't explained completely, which is fine with me, but could be frustrating for folks who really enjoy the "sci" in sci Fi.

3.5 stars just barely rounded up. How is the writing getting worse? This one feels like it was rushed out the door. If the first one wasn't so good, this might have been a DNF. Still love the world and ideas, the characters are starting to behave oddly. Fergus seems to have been three completely different characters in each of the three books. Ean floats between a competent geek and an unbelievably naive idiot.

I don't think I am going to read another one (if there ever is another one) unless someone tells me the quality has changed dramatically. After thinking about it a bit, the 3.5 got rounded down.

Third in the Linesman series featuring Ean Lambert. Still think the first in the series is the best, found book 2 and 3 to be a bit bogged down by the politics. This one is super enjoyable because we finally get to see a bit more into Radko's POV.

I look forward to more adventures in this series, here's hoping we get them.

PS. Rossi is an ass....more of an ass

It wasn't until we were deprived of Radko that I suddenly realised how much love I have for Radko! More action packed than the previous novels, Lancia is stepping up and is forefront in the plotline. Emperor Yu is determined for Lancia to take it's rightful place in the New Alliance by forging engagements for Michelle and Radko to force new allies. As a result, Radko is sent away on covert ops and Ean alone without his normal protection as they continue to learn more and more about the lines.

There's a lot more Line and high level politics in this last(?) installation in the Linesman series, Ean's separation from both Michelle and Radko means he spends much more of the novel stepping up to the plate, but it was the Radko POV chapters that had me hooked.

Sorry to see this series go, but if this was the last one then it had quite a satisfactory ending.
