Knight took some real chances in this book pushing Valentine in some interesting directions. As usual, the action & scenery was great. Valentine is an excellent hero in most ways. He's a bit too self-effacing for me & I wonder at his legal position. Considering what he has done, it's not only unfair, but pretty amazing that he isn't in better standing. Of course, not many know his full story, but some do or should, especially at the end of this book. ;-) The reality (just go with it) of the world that Knight paints is one of the strongest points of this series. Nothing is perfect & sometimes doesn't even make sense - just like real life. People get jock itch, occasionally crap themselves in terror, & make very tough choices, sometimes bad ones. Excellently done. I'm now listening to the next. I was surprised to find out I hadn't read this one before. I thought I'd missed something when I read the next book. Apparently this one came out the year we moved & I missed it, but just enough was filled in that I could keep up with the series well enough. Still, I knew I'd missed quite an adventure & I'm glad I caught up with it. I sent all the paperbacks to my son & warned him he had to buy this one. He noticed it was missing & already had. We both love this series, but it is best read in published, which is also chronological order. If you start reading later in the series, you probably won't be lost, but you'll miss a good deal. Knight is growing Valentine & the world wonderfully. Another great entry into this series. David has fallen on somewhat hard times in the three years since the end of "Valentine's Exile". He's almost a spirit of vengeance when this story begins. Being a Cat, apparently nobody knows where he is, Southern Command, the Kurians, etc. And that's the way he likes it. This story follows David from the mental brink of having nothing to live for, all the way to his final understanding of what "the Cause" really is. One thing I really enjoyed was the setting. This time the Southwest comes into play. Also the Pacific Northwest and Seattle. It's always fun how the author changes the places and scenery, and you learn a little more about things hinted at in previous novels. Another enjoyable entry in this series. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The Lifeweavers, Earth's allies in the conflict, have mostly vanished, but those that remain are held captive by an overlord known as the Seattle Kurian. To free them, Valentine must convince the legendary resistance fighter known as the Marshal to join his cause. But the Marshal is something of an overlord himself...
