Well, the awesomeness continues.
This book is not nearly as upbeat as the previous, with losses getting more and more serious towards the end. However, it is rather a bit more interesting than the cheery first novel, and I found it wonderful (both the first book and the difference).
This ate another of my rare 10's. If you have any love for ST:E, you seriously need to read this series.
