The last book I read from Ian Douglas was Star Corpsman: Bloodstar back in 2012. It was good, not great but good. This book is the first in a new series and it is excellent. It has obviously been impacted by other good Sci-Fi but how do you divorce you mind from your reading experiences. Earth has met aliens and is going to their capital. Their arrival is fraught with peril and they find themselves far from where they had anticipated.
St.Clair is the military commander of the humans and Adler
is the political leader. Douglas illustrates a less than complimentary attitude
regarding politicos and realistically with today’s political climate, how could
he otherwise proceed. The proliferation
of AI adds a equal rights component to the book which is thought
provoking. As much as we would like to
think that Asimov’s 3 laws of robotics actually might exist, Douglas
thinks otherwise.
I found the author provide some interesting concepts to
contemplate. Gasp!, he actually
encourages you to think!
I really enjoyed the book and I recommend it.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
