This book stands alone just fine. It has been over a decade since I read the first one so it is good this stands alone. There was no backstory which annoys me as I think that is important but it didn’t matter. The Marines are asked by a planetary government to train their extended police force due to a rebellion’s continuing success.
The extended police force has little in common with the urban
police forces. The extended police
force would be considered a standing army under a different nomenclature.
Political favors determine the officers in the extended
force and it is primarily used as a dumping ground for incapable sons. Fancy uniforms and spit and polish as opposed
to any type of professionalism. The urban
police are capable and professional.
The Marines find themselves fighting in addition to
training. They also discover that things
are not what they seem. The ruling
oligarchy is self-destructing as its members maneuver for dominance.
The Marines must deal with treachery from all sides.
I enjoyed the book and recommend it.
