This is an all time fave and I generally reread it once a year. I love the mix of myth with military sci-fi. I love the emotion and family and friends and tragedy and vengeance and skulduggery.
...remember I was reading this for a book club. I should have been discussing frequently here on the dashboard. I should be writing a good review. Instead, I wolfed through this one, then book two and then immediately book three. I did want more in the Honor-verse. I hesitated to start this b...
