title: A Peace Divided (Peacekeeper)
author:  Tanya Huff 
description: Praise for the Peacekeeper trilogy:<br /><br />Huff weaves a fast-paced thriller<b>bristling with treachery and intrigue</b>. Fans of military science fiction will enjoy this tense adventure and its intricately constructed setting. <i>Publishers Weekly</i><br /><br />Huff works in plenty of backstory for new readers. Once the action hits the planet running, Huff<b>kicks it into high gear</b>. <i>RT Reviews</i><br /><br />"Tanya Huff knows how to tell<b>a rip-roaring, military sci-fi mystery</b>story like few others." Barnes &amp; Noble Sci-fi &amp; Fantasy Blog<br /><br />"[<i>A Peace Divided</i>is] a<b>fun novel, pacey, full of banter</b>, with plenty of space for more sequels. Torin Kerr the Justice Department Warden approaches her work and her life differently to Torin Kerr the Marine, but once a Gunnery Sergeant, always a Gunnery Sergeant. Explosions abound!" Tor.com<br /><br />Torin and her team feel like<b><i>The A-Team</i>crossed with<i>Mission Impossible</i></b>.... as long as Tanya Huff decides to keep writing about Torin, I will be ecstatically reading her adventures. Fantasy Book Review<br /><br />The story is told incredibly well and the pace is frenetic once the mission gets underway.... I definitely recommend<i>An Ancient Peace</i><b>for fans of military sci-fi</b>. SFRevu<br /><br /><i>An Ancient Peace</i>is certainly the<b>adrenaline-fueled adventure</b>that I have come to know, love and expect from this series. Reading Reality<br /><br /><i>An Ancient Peace</i>is all about robust dialogue, well defined characters and a rock solid plot that drives the story onward.... This is<b>intelligent, well written, character driven science fiction</b>falling into that sweet spot between hard sci-fi and pulp action. The Book Beards Blog<br /><br />Huff is very good with characters and dialogueshe can still<b>turn a line that will make me laugh out loud</b>. Clandestine Critic
