Dark Edge of Honor by Aleksandr Voinov

4.0

Dark Edge of Honor tells the story of soldiers on opposing sides: Mike, of Alliance CovOps, and Sergei, of the Doctrine. Mike is tasked with finding out whatever he can about Doctrine movements on the planet of Cirokkan, and that involves getting close to Sergei. Unexpectedly, though, Mike begins to actually care for Sergei, and duty and emotions get irrevocably tangled. After a disastrous mission in the mountain and a couple bouts of torture, secrets finally come out. Eventually, after saving Sergei from an undesirable fate, the two manage to get away together and start planning for a life.



After trying several times to come up with something that sounds really intelligent, and coming up with nothing, all I can say is that this book was really good. Better than I was expecting. Mike and Sergei were both easy to connect to and fall in love with. The plot as a whole was engaging and I was never bored; there were even times when I clutched my Kindle hard, waiting to see what was going to happen next (especially during the torture scenes). Aleksandr Voinov and Rhi Etzweiler have produced a wonderful story.
