Description
"After the War for Eternity, the Arizel aliens appointed the Highland Clans of Fenrille to lead the planet's defense. But just fifty years later, Fenrille was under dual attack, not only had a wayward son of the Fundan clan revolted, but The Black Ship, a huge spacecreaft from Earth, was attacking clan strongpoints from orbit, hoping to fill her stores with stolen longevity drugs before fleeing to hide among the stars. And, distracted by the deadly combat, hardly anyone took notice that the show more universe was in deadly peril..."--Page [4] of cover. show lessTags

I read this, but I almost didn't finish it. At the start it is a strange mishmash of characters with no background, a strange world with a lot of missing backstory, and even stranger super aliens. As it turns out this is a sequel, and if you haven't read the previous book you'll be lost for a while. Its not a terrible book, and it did improve as it went on, but it really felt all along that I was missing too much to enjoy it. Way too much backstabbing, dirty politics, and out and out crime. In that way it reminds me of the Lensman books - but there's no good guys to save the day and round up the bad guys, just more bad guys to wipe out the little bad guys. Not recommended.
