I feel sorry for Jake Olsen. It must be hard having the ensign-in-the-red-shirt role. This book is as good as the rest of the series, and the First Family truly are bastards. I really liked this one.

With the escape from the Iron Masters, there are now three political
forces at work, the aforementioned, the First Family, and the Mutes.
Clearwater is badly hurt, and again taken by others.

The Iron Masters want to do bad things to Brickman and the Mutes,
and the First Family are not too happy with the Clan McCall, after
previous defeats. They are still playing their own devious game.

Here we learn why Mr. Snow calls Brickman 'Death Bringer'.
