review 1: Decent, but not as good as the usual Kris Longknife novels.It should be noted I have NOT read the other three 'Jump Universe' books, so I was jumping in cold. But the book was fairly decent in setting up characters plus I had background from the Longknife series. I liked Trouble & Ruth, pretty much, but Ray Longknife comes across very unsympatetic, honestly. In fact he's a dick. So his bits weren't a fun read. It was also kind of... a let down to read the Battle of Savannah when it was described so well in the Kris series. Here, it's less than thrilling. So yeah, decent but not highly recommended.
review 2: Somewhat adequate space opera. The general plot of the book is fine, except for a few extraneous scenes that belong to the next novel's plot-line. However, ... morethe bulk of the time is spent on a world that suffers from being far too small. There's no sense of being anywhere other than a fairly small city, particularly when politics and an election arrive. It would be nice to see a group of corrupt and/or secret police that were not comic-book thugs easily dispatched. Finally, the climactic battle is horribly contrived and unrealistic. less
