This is a follow up on Winds of Marque which I also enjoyed. Once again it is an interesting meld of high tech and steam punk. Sailing ships with cannons and yet air locks and aliens provide an interesting setting. Lord Liam Blackwood and Petty Officer Amelia Virtue are the main protagonists. There in likes one of the contentions in the book, a Lord and a commoner with more in common then is normally acceptable in “polite” society. A notorious pirate, Dark Star, is assaulting the Empire’s trade and HMSS Daring is tasked the stopping of Dark Star.
The author shows the disparity between haves and have nots
quite clearly. Considering the way our
society is heading, the disparity description may be spot on. Dark Star may not be a criminal and Dark
Star’s goal may not be just the amassing of ill-gotten gains.
An entertaining story with a good set of characters.
BTW the women in this book KICK BUTT!
