lots of politics and intrigue. Among the humans, the zhirrzh and another alien species which are playing all sides against each other for their own gain. Ends well. (

This entire series held my attention from start to end. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys of good space yarn. While the world-building might not be as complex as some of the great space operas, I enjoyed this almost more. Each characters was well-defined, with depth and flaws. The plot moved at a fast pace with twists and turns and humor and ups'n'downs. Excellent and enjoyable! (

A reasonably entertaining conclusion to the tale. Some substandard writing can be forgiven in light of the enjoyable, if not particularly complex or innovative, plot. (

Epigraph

Dedication

For several years now, from time to time, he has been supplying me with little tidbits of ideas; and up to now he has not received a proper public acknowledgement of my gratitude. With this book, it's time to set that right.

So here goes. The suggestion that part of this book be from Max's point of view came from him. So did the hand-built model that inspired the design of the Peacekeepers' Wolf Pack. For these ideas, for those that have come before, and for those that are undoubtedly yet to come, I dedicate this book to my son

First words

Directly ahead, the sky was a brilliant and cloudless blue. All around, at the distant circle of the horizon, the browns and grays and pale greens of the planetscape hazed with an odd seamlessness into the blue of the sky. Above and slightly aft, the planet's sun was a pale, red-orange globe.

Directly beneath was enemy territory.
