Title: Canby's Legion takes a back seat to a seemier universe
Review: Baldwin has created a steamy universe with a debauched Emperor and crass commercial Empire. Though the hero, Canby, fights for right, the dark and debauched scenes of sexual orgies -- and in one case pedophilia, make this a book unsuitable for younger readers. Baldwin writes as if he was unhappy with the straightforward good versus evil in the Helmsman series and needed to make a universe reflective of everything that is bad.This is a step down in Baldwin's otherwise finely crafted space operas that are suitable for younger and adventurous teens.Canby's Legion is NOT Suitable for younger readers
