At long last, well I guess it wasn't that long, but it felt like it, the third book came out. It was a great book.
It had great space battles and rough and tumble hand to hand combat. Throw in some unexpected plot twists with really bad bad guys and honorable good guys and you have an amazing book.
The only bad point about the book is some profanity. Profanity only distracts from a story. The same point can be made without using it.
In summery another very good book in an amazing series.
A good step in the right direction. Gage, as usual is in a situation that seems untenable. Some good twists and turns. I can't wait for the next installment.
