Another Great Storyline
Well another great long awaited episode to the Exiled Fleet.. Wow it goggles the mind that some of the super powers still treat their leaders like gods especially the Cathay (Chinese from such as the Yang Dynasty). Still a great storyline and well worth 5 stars, if it was possible I would give more. Well done Richard Fox

Good mix of action and plots. Keeping a story going with do many players without getting things muddled takes some doing. The mix is spot on while leading to the next key moment - which is in the next book coming soon! Very soon I hope!

Great tech , awesome characters, fast paced plot - delightful military science fiction. Except it did not finish the series, and book six is not out yet. This is why I did not read comic books as a kid!

Interlude to conclusion
Well not much to say here, it goes pretty much as expected. There's no incidents that are shocking or mind blowing. This book is quite short basically just setting up for the final book to start off with a bang.

Great read .
Was going threw my books and found some series that more books came out for and started the series from the beginning. This is book 5 and was great it went well with the rest of the series, plenty of action on the ground and in space.

More action
Gage continues to fight the Daegon and to try to convince the rest of the League how important it is to do do. The good story continues.
