This is a hard book to rate. This is one of those where the people in it act how you wish those in power acted, vs the world we get. When actions from past books in the series have all come to a head, and fallout starts. In the foreground is a classic discovered a new alien species, with the fallout of the previous novels hovering in the background. So you really have two independent stories wrapped together.
