This book follows the adventures of the Commonwealth captain that we met in Rimward Stars after the events of Operation Medusa. You meet new characters and learn about them in depth, and there is fast paced battles and tension. The lack of the q-com (and thus FTL communication) for most of the characters makes this one much more David Webber-like than some of the earlier books.
There is some nice introspection by characters and consideration of personal principles, taking place in an area of space consisting of mainly first nations people, and how their colonial past intersects with the ‘Unity’ focus of the Commonwealth.
