But it is also the height of danger for herself and her family as they struggle to survive a war that none of them ever expected to see."--Jacket flap.Tags

The story snores to its inevitable ending. I was bored and glad for the end. The ending might wrap up this particular story line, but it seems more like a middle of a longer series. I'd say 5 or 6 books long.
The only good thing was seeing some of the characters exhibit real character. There were several instances where the character had to give their word and then a situation came up where it made sense to break their word, but they didn't.
I found that encouraging.

The conclusion of Zahn's second Cobra trilogy (Cobra Alliance; Cobra Guardian) features fast-paced battle scenes, military camaraderie, and political maneuvers reminiscent of David Weber's "Honor Harrington" series. Readers of the series and military sf afficionados will enjoy this action-packed space opera.
