review 1: This one just didn't grip me as much as the other books in this series. Once you get Sergeant Kerr out of uniform you are losing a major part of what makes this series so entertaining.So, Torin and the few survivors of her company have quit the Marine Corps after discovering in the last book that the war they had been fighting was based on a lie, one perpetuated by a hive mind of intelligent plastic. Shacking up with her salvage contractor lover Craig, she tries to settle in to civilian life. It doesn't last long, because Craig is kidnapped by pirates, and she has to ride to the rescue with her old buddies.Along the way there are lots of fighting, a bit of gratuitous torture, and lots and lots of bad guy pirates for her to kill, maim or just knock out. Unfortunately, said ... morepirates are just not that tough, so it is not much of a fight. A large chunk of the story is set on a pirate run space station which I felt like I needed a plan of, because I couldn't work out how things were connected with each other. Things were a bit too convoluted at times, and the ending had a deus ex machina that made me groan.It's not really much of a spoiler to say that she saves the day (yet again), but there is a possibly interesting new direction for the next book to go into (said book is not due out until November in the UK though). I will probably nd up reading it, but by then I will have probably forgotten all about this series.
review 2: Right so in the last book we learned that plastic aliens are behind everything, and I mean everything. There is no real war in a sense, just a bunch of plastic aliens watching and monitoring. So no wonder that Torin quits her job and becomes a civilian.Most of this is a space book or a space station book, and I must confess that I do prefer when she is on land to to say. More things seem to happen then, like the prison planet and the escape from it. Anyway Torin and Craig is a team, salvaging stuff in space. But like she could keep away from trouble, as if. She seeks trouble and enemies like it's her destiny in life, but then she is a soldier.Pirates are attacking salvaging operators. And soon they will be in the middle of it. She can take down anything and everything. The hunt for wicked pirates begin.And the end, ha, yes, I guess we will see more of...that. I can't spoil it.The war is not over and what will she do next? I do wonder how this series will end less
