It really is a shame that Feintuch died after this book, and so there will never be another entry in the Seafort saga. I have heard rumors that there was another book mostly written, but nothing further for years.This is probably the best of the Seafort books except the first. Instead of Seafort's POV, it's told from the POV of Randy Carr, son of one of Seafort's friends. He's very much unlike Seafort, but he still had an engaging voice.Like any space opera, there's plenty of action and politics. If you've read the others, this one will not disappoint.
