Writing a bit clunky. ( ) NOTE: I received a copy of this book from NetGalley. This review is my honest opinion of the book. Glynn Stewart has written a science fiction novel that has almost everything - space battles, a decent plot, indepth characters, strange new species, politicking, rebellion, civilization building, adventuring and new worlds. The writing style is direct and makes the reader feel they are in the midst of the adventure. The main characters have depth, though a few of the more minor characters could have done with more personality. Even the aliens have their own fully-fleshed personality and oddities. I also haven't enjoyed a space battle this much in ages. The pacing was just right - fast but not rushed or too bogged down - especially for short book like this. I have no idea if the author is planning sequels or not, but this novel can be read as a standalone. This novel would also make a great movie or TV series. This story makes for a fun and exciting read, with tense, nail-biting moments. Admiral Gallant has his hands full. After a failed rebellion against his Mother and her system, he ends up exiled to the far end of the galaxy with no way home. He, and several million other exiles, must start over and rebuild their society. Amelie Lestroud, Famous actress, leader of the rebellion and fellow exile turned president must help him rebuild their new home, Exilium. A perfect planet for the exiles. A little too perfect. The exiles soon find they are not alone in their new neighborhood and the neighbors are not so friendly. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to all sci-fi fans. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Exile [Stewart] (1)
"Vice Admiral Isaac Gallant is the heir apparent to the First Admiral, the dictator of the Confederacy of Humanity. Unwilling to let his mothers tyranny stand, he joins the rebellion and leads his ships into war against the might of his own nation. Betrayal and failure, however, see Isaac Gallant and his allies captured. Rather than execute her only son, the First Admiral instead decides to exile them, flinging four million dissidents and rebels through a one-shot wormhole to the other end of the galaxy. There, Isaac finds himself forced to keep order and peace as they seek out a new home without becoming the very dictator he fought against - and when that new home turns out to be too perfect to be true, he and his fellow exiles must decide how hard they are prepared to fight for paradisé against the very people who built it."--Publisher's description.
