Title: A tepid culmination to a tepid series
Product review: Despite the title, I must add that this is the best book in the overall Nolan sequence. He actually seems to have grown as a character, although only to the extent he is 2.1 dimensional rather than two dimensional. The combat seems a bit more sophisticated, actually employing combined arms for a change. The best possible book in the series, the "General", is the one that will not be written. Here we could have seen the implications of a military officer as head of state, grappling with tough decisions that effect soldiers and civilians alike and perhaps offered a broader glimpse of politics and foreign relations in Shelley's series universe. Unfortunately that topic is dealt with in a paragraph.
