I read the first in this series and really enjoyed it and this was just as good. Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr is an incredibly realistic and she's a solid character and her trials and tribulations flow from the story. Nothing seems forced, even her relationship with her Second Lieutenant. I want to read more but also don't want the series to burn out. So long as Tanya Huff has stories to write about this character both myself and my husband will read them. This is one of the few series both of us read with relish.

This time she's taken early off R&R and told to go on a diplomatic mission. There's rumours of the Others somewhere close but they want to recruit the Silsviss into the Confederation, the Silsviss look like they will add to the interstellar army. When things don't go to plan Torin has to use her knowledge and wits. It's interesting and works well.
