Critics Review
Scenes of battling the odds are terrific, making for an adventure story that’s written with an energy and pace that demands your attention
If you get a buzz from dodging assassins, wheeling and dealing, and zooming around space at FTL speed, then check out this SF military adventure … When Ky engages the enemy, Moon does a cracking job of engaging you
A rollercoaster ride of combat and intrigue. Fast-moving action set in a classic space-opera universe, with plenty of plot surprises and a likeably tough heroineGorgeous … I galloped through them … I don’t know when I enjoyed a trilogy so muchStrong characterisation, subtle humour and a feel for military SF make this dynastic space opera a strong addition for all SF collectionsAbout The Author
