Two Full-Length Novels of Space Adventure:             Change of Command: Esmay and Barin are reconciled--but their universe is falling apart! The exposure of defective rejuvenation drugs has sent fear sweeping across the known galaxy, including the Regular Space Service, while neighboring states fear the aggressive expansion of the Familias Regnant. Fear begets violent reactions--from foreign governments, from great Families determined to hold on to power, from internal rivalries in the Fleet--and nothing escapes the resultant bloodbath unscathed, including Esmay and Barin.             Against the Odds: The worst has happened: Fleet is tearing itself apart. Some of the mutineers see injustice in the unequal spread of the rejuvenation drugs that offer virtual immortality to the rich; others are simply thirsty for power, or for blood. But when Esmay Suiza-Serrano is unceremoniously booted out of Fleet, the apparent victim of Family politics, she has no idea of the conflict into which she has been thrown. As the noose tightens on galactic civilization, great battles will be fought and greater loves affirmed . . . and old friends will meet their destinies.  … (more)

This is an omnibus, but it's not really worth reviewing them separately because the first book is almost completely setup. It's meandering, plotless, and kind of confusing as Moon builds the bridge to the sociopolitical situation she intends to explore in the second book. It's necessary setup, I suppose, but I can't imagine reading the book on its own.

The second book, however, is very solid. All the pieces are in place and it's a very satisfying adventure. Some long-running minor mysteries are cleared up, not everyone gets a happy ending in a realistic way, and the end is surprisingly affecting. It definitely makes up for the mess that preceeds it.

Not quite as good as the previous books. There were too many different sub-plots. I was also getting abit tired of all the men being old and evil or young and silly. ( )

Serrano series finally concludes. Once you get past the fox hunting it goes into overdrive through the three omnibus collections right to the end. I read them all back to back such was the captivation of the story writing. ( )
