About this ebook
Two years after the unhatching of Callayan President Neiland's plot to make the capital city of Tanusha the center of the Federation, Callay is under siege. So begins the third installment of this gripping trilogy from an exciting new sci-fi author. A powerful faction of conservative Fleet captains has surrounded Callay, at Earth's behest, and is threatening a blockade – or worse. A fearful Earth does not wish to lose direct control of its precious war machine, and there are fears of civil war. All that Callay has to oppose the warships of the Fleet is the Callayan Defense Force (CDF) – a newly formed group of raw recruits led by a politically hamstrung general. However, the CDF is largely trained and organized by Major Vanessa Rice and her best friend, Callay's combat-android, Commander Cassandra Kresnov. But when Cassandra's lover, Special Agent Ari Ruben, discovers a plot to kill her using a killswitch, which her old masters in the League built into her brainstem, Sandy is forced to go underground to stay alive.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5"Same problems as in Cherryh's Alliance-Union Universe : what is human ? How can a government control expansion through the galaxy ? What do you do with Fleet when the war ends ? In France, we call the Army "la grande muette", the great mute, because soldiers aren't supposed to take side on the political ground. But, ever since the Roman Empire, history demonstrates this is a sham. So, an army turned truant.The reading sometimes felt haltingly. I guess Shepherd wanted us to feel how data run through an android's augmented brain but it wasn't satisfactory. Either it's too articulate or not enough articulate. I often find myself wondering where the verb was or why a dot and not a coma. It didn't feel as much raw data as incomplete sentences and bad editing. The balance wasn't right.That being said, I like it. I like Cherryh better (there isn't the breathless tension one can feel while reading her) but there is good action and interesting relations between characters.
