In the distant future after the Melconians have done their thing, there is a small pocket of humans and they’re having a bad day. One of things I like about the Bolo books is that their consistent in their overall direction for future human history, and that future is reasonably plausible — its a bit like Asimov’s extended Foundation Series, but written by a bunch of different authors. There must have been a huge coordination effort while producing these books.
This book is pretty standard Bolo fair, which is well written and entertaining. It wont make you a better person, but its a fun read and makes you think.
