As with the first book, the characters here are outstanding and fascinating, and their relationships are dynamic. It's a fun and diverse group, and Clement makes a great lead... Fans of series like David Weber's Honor Harrington, Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet, Orson Scott Card's Ender Saga, and Timothy Zahn's many space operas will all want to check this out. It could be their next new series love. -- Analog SF&F
