Ignore the cover-- it says NOTHING about this book. The final in the Tales of the Concordat Series, it is about the past-- the End Days of the Empire, and the Present, the Praesidium of the Concordat and the attempt by one man to change the course of history. . .with an Opera.
The continued chronicles of the Coinroader and its crew as they are assigned the task of transporting terraforming chemicals to a world that will kill all native lifeforms. Right and Wrong. Destiny and Necessity. Politics and Law. Life and Death. This book is deeper than it looks.
This is part of a trilogy that looks like low standard Sci-fi adventure. But it isn't. This is Swycaffer. The discovery of an ancient Empire station brings to light more of the Origins of the Humans of the Concordat, and plumbs the question and assumptions of Slavery and Freedom.

I gave this book a seven out of ten and when rereading, I will stick to that. There is a plot twist here that is hard to believe, that a university team and a merchant team think a first contact mission is well within their scope as the plot develops. Salvage seems to motivate over common sense.
Then we have the plausibility of a ruler eliminating all knowledge upon his death. Hard enough to do when the matter is just contained to a small land area on a planet, as we know from history, so playing that out over the course of a galactic empire would make the odds for success so minuscule that I do not think we can count the number of zeroes after the decimal place in our lifetimes.
But when re suspend our disbelief, then we can sit back and enjoy the ride.… (mehr)
