This is a well-written, sci-fi space opera that stands on its own.
Your attention is instantly grabbed as you are pulled into a life-defining event for one of the main characters, Nickson Armitage. Then, you are taken to a point one year later where he is once again faced with a decision that puts him along a new path.
From there, it continues to be an action-packed story that keeps you turning the pages. The storyline has a complex plot that brings in almost every element you love into your stories. Mr. Kupari brings you firefights, space battles, evil empires, androids, wild frontiers, civil wars, and aliens and makes you want more.
This is a fantastic book that was over before you realize it because you just can’t put it down. I cant wait for the next installment. I give it 4.5 Stars
