  <default_description>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. &lt;P&gt;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.&lt;P&gt;&lt;P&gt;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.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Another fun Cassandra Kresnov book.  There's the same amount of action and intrigue as the previous two books, and that gets built upon with the inclusion of two more artificial human &quot;GIs&quot; that provide sharp contrasts to Cassandra and help prove just how human she really is, despite her b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65909513">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I don't think I liked this book as much as I liked its two predecessors in this series. It seemed like it was more rushed, and the plot seemed thinner than usual. That said, it did have its good moments, and once again Shepherd has demonstrated his flair for suspense and fast-paced action sequences....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41632426">more...</a>]]></body>
