Excellent Sequel

Chris can write a good "male" romance with just enough romance to string the action together. A fun read, and fairly fast, but engaging.

Better than the first

I liked this book better than the first in the series, which I thought was a little too underdeveloped. The characters in this one were developed a little better, and I thought the interaction with the Musth made for a more exciting story than did the conflict with the Raum. But the book still had problems with the culture and slang that seemed made up and forced, but maybe that is just a personal preference. This one at least made me want to read the next book.

typical Bunch

It is enjoyable easy reading. I wish that the author would go into greater detail when discribing future war machines. The main characters are likeable, the plot plausible, and if you like his previous books-read this one.

A fitting second book in this series.

The two con men from the first book are back in the second, and are now in charge. The book continues where the first left off. If you are a fan of the "Sten" series, then this series, at least from the military standpoint continues in that direction. I would have given the book a five rating, but it skips around some, leaving you wanting to skip around to find out what happens. A good read, however.
