Title: An excellent science fiction story
Review: Marque and Reprisal is a solid followup to the first book in the series (Trading in Danger). Accelerating quickly, you are breathlessly taken through a series of jarring, thrilling events. A wide variety of science fiction fans should enjoy this book. This series and setting hold great future promise.So, why four stars instead of five? This book had the action and plot to grab and keep your attention. What it seemed to lack a bit was the depth of characterization and development that I have come to expect from Moon's incredible talent. Her masterful work in other series has set high expectations. Then again, this is certainly a personal preference. Some may find too much depth gets in the way of the story for them. Another minor disappointment is a couple of the situations seemed a bit too contrived. Again, these are minor disappointments in an overall excellent book. I fully recommend it.
