The Machiavelli Interface by Steve Perry - 3.5 stars

[annapi]

Sheesh, re-reading this series is addicting - like eating potato chips, you can't just stop at one. Book 3 of the Matadors series gets us into the rebellion ball that Emile Khadaji started rolling back in book 1, and was continued by Dirisha Zuri in book 2. The action may be a bit quicker than is plausible, but the author obviously wanted to cram the fall of the Confederacy in one book, which is fine by me as I don't like when writers stretch out a story unnecessarily. I give this 3.5 stars but would round up to 4.
