I am really enjoying this series overall. This installment, however, didn't have a lot of movement. I enjoyed reading about all the things that happened in this one, but it feels like it should have been a part of the previous book, or perhaps part of the next in the series. I am looking forward to the next one.

This book is another good military sci-fi book in The Last Hunter series. As others have pointed out it is perhaps a bit slower than some of the other books in the series but certainly not to the extent of downgrading it to one or two stars as some have done.

The book advances the story and it is much about inverse engineering the bad guys technology and advancing their own. I like that this is happening instead of lazy and sudden jumps just because they happened to get some alien technology to study.

Yes, some parts of the book was indeed a bit too slow and unnecessary. Tedious dinners and dialogues that could have been condensed down a bit for example. Still, it did not really disturb me that much.

I do like that they are finally starting to get some of the other Hunters online. That is one thing that have been bugging me with this series. The author dragged out getting The Hunter fully operation as well as getting the other Hunters online for a few too many books.

If now the author could just get over his Voyager complex and stop completely shooting up Romanoff’s ship in every book it would be nice. I’m also still not too thrilled by this conspiracy part of the book and, for me, this is another part I would really like the author to get over and done with soon.

There are obviously less action in the book than in the previous ones but once it happens towards the end it is quite good as usual.

Overall I enjoyed the book. It is maybe not a strong four star book but a four star one nonetheless.
