An interstellar artifact hunter searches for relics of a long past war which may change how people remember the hero of the war. A little tedious in place, but a good read. The ending was a bit of a suprise. ( )

I had enjoyed the later books in this series, so I thought I would dig up the first one. Unfortunately this was not as good I felt there was too many history lessons and not enough character development or action. ( )

This is a really, really good novel. A journalist begins to look into the root causes, personalities and propaganda behind a past war.

Humans have fought a war with telepathic aliens, but it was not a united front. A small band led the resistance while others stayed out of the war. An absorbing tale of politics and personality, along with military strategy.
