I admit it. I adore Miller and Lee. Honestly, the books just keep getting better, giving long-time readers new understanding of the universe they have built and the characters they have created.
In Accepting the Lance, Clan Korval has its hands full rebuilding trade networks and building new alliances after the Department had them banned from their home planet of Liad. While most of the Department is in disarray, there are still solid threats to be dealt with. If that wasn't enough, old threats resurface to threaten the very universe. Space Opera is one of my all-time favorites, and the books in this series delivers each and every time.
If you are new to their series, I would start earlier in the list of titles--the last few have been complex. The author's website suggests the following titles for those entering their universe: Agent of Change, Conflict of Honors, Local Custom, Scout’s Progress, Balance of Trade, Fledgling, Crystal Soldier, Necessity’s Child, Dragon in Exile, Alliance of Equals. Grab any of them and settle in for a great read Once you read one of these, you will be hooked for life.

The choice, preparation, serving and consuming of beverages by characters with interchangeable personalities is described in great detail. The ancient tech being used in a war spanning two universes—not so much.

An excellent wrap up and staging for what is to come.
This long awaited story finishes a major story line, a minor one as well, and wraps up a few loose ends. However, there is set up for other stories not yet finished.
The writing is what one expects from a Lee and Miller book: tight, thoughtful, flowing.
This was satisfying, and leaves me wanting more.

This was not one of their best. There were certainly some good parts, especially at the end. But some of the early action, especially among the AI ships, seemed to me that it didn't quite make sense. As if I'd missed some earlier explanation. But I'm sure I didn't.

The latest book is a collection of stats and finishes to some story arcs. The plus with this universe is there are so many interesting characters in it to follow and the downside is that your favorite people never get enough screen time. This isn’t the best book to start the series with but fans that have come in the series at the several points that you will be very happy to read with happens in this book. I don’t think I can give too much of the plot out without ruining some thing for a reader that wants to be surprised about X but needless to say this is a book that fans of the series will be glad to read.
