This was disturbingly graphic in it's violence. Even so, I could not put the book or the others in the series down. I had to finish, I had to know...
...I will read it again too. ( )

Slight drop in suspense from 3rd book; still very good. ( )

Explosive rescue, force grown kids, cyborgs, implants, and space chases.

The aliens have grown Morn's kid up fast, the asteroid has just blown up, and Nick actually rescues some people this time, including the usual suspects.

Cue space chase and battle, as they still have the problem that nobody seems to like them, from aliens to the mining company.

Working together may be harder than avoiding all this death and destruction given their sordid past.

Chaos and Order

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0553071793, Hardcover)

Punisher is on the run from Billingate Space Station, as well as other predators that follow: UMCP Enforcement Division director Min Donner aboard a crippled Punisher, Nick's archenemy (and slave to the aliens) Sorus Chatelaine aboard Soar, and the mysterious hired gun, Free Lunch. Corrupt cyborg Angus Thermopyle and ruthless Nick Succorso battle for control of the ship and the situation. Their trail leads to Valdor Industrial, where geneticist/engineer Vector Shaheed seeks to redeem himself by manufacturing an antidote to the mutagen used by the alien Amnioni to mutate human beings against their will. Brutalized yet resilient Morn Hyland, her clone/son Davies, tough officer Mikki, Pup, Sib, and the rest continue their suffering and sacrificing.

Meanwhile, back in Earth space, police and politicians battle for power as UMCP director Dios continues his grim revolution against the Dragon. Assassin kazes, political fears, and provocative bills threaten to paralyze the Governing Council for Earth and Space.

Ships battling in space? Laboratory space stations developing antimutagen antidotes against the aliens who seek to conquer humankind by mutation? Outrage, brutality, betrayal, and secrets? Donaldson lays it all out with sharp dialogue, tense scenes, and zippy action.
