    About this ebook

    Former space marine Torin Kerr returns for one final adventure to save the Confederation in the last book in the military science fiction Peacekeeper trilogy.

    Warden Torin Kerr has put her past behind her and built a life away from the war and everything that meant. From the good, from the bad. From the heroics, from the betrayal. She's created a place and purpose for others like her, a way to use their training for the good of the Confederation. She has friends, family, purpose.

    Unfortunately, her past refuses to grant her the same absolution. Big Yellow, the ship form of the plastic aliens responsible for the war, returns. The Silsviss test the strength of the Confederation. Torin has to be Gunnery Sergeant Kerr once again and find a way to keep the peace.

      Many readers will be unaware that, a couple of decades ago, the RYA cruising syllabus still specified the ability to whip a rope’s end in a seamanlike manner. I’m sad to report that this quietly disappeared somewhere around 2003. On the whole, the sy

      This book pretty much continues right after the previous one so may not be the best place to start. The Peacekeepers at the Dept of Justice seem to be fighting Humans First on all fronts including in their own ranks. The piece of Big Yellow that was found in the previous book is going to be shown publicly before it is locked away. Torin, Craig and Presit are there to touch it to see if they can get a reaction that the scientists couldn’t get. They do get a response by the way of the data sheet sending a signal to the rest of the Big Yellow and of course Torin and crew are needed to be there when Big Yellow arrives. The ending is good, but I certainly want more stories in this setting.

      Good story, as usual. Torin and her Strike Team (and a newly established team, just to round out the numbers) runs into problems old and new. Humans First is being more of a pain, a data sheet of plastic is discovered to be more than just a data sheet, Presit is running for election, someone tried to shoot Torin (and succeeded, more or less), the Silviss are attacking... The return of Big Yellow and some very interesting interactions on site rounds things off nicely. There will be some major changes soon - hope we get at least some short stories dealing with the fallout.

      I didn't like this book as well as the others in the series. The book has several different intertwined stories and jumps from one to the other. I wouldn't say it's confusing but each time it jumps, it destroys the momentum of that strand of the story. I also thought that where the story ended was unfair. It was building up to something with one line of the story and then just when you get there, and it starts to make sense sort of, the book ends. The book is well-written and readable but just not as good as Huff's other work.
    • 5/5
      As always--Riveting!

      Plastic data sheets, rogue Silsviss, the presence of the much disliked and inept commander General Morris, Warden Torin , Craig and the rest of the Strike team have their hands full with new developments that bring up old challenges. Devious plans are being hatched by the Humans First fanatics. The finding of data sheets similar to the plastic from before has everyone including the elder race, the H'san on edge.
      After Warden Torin's Strike Team's last mission, where information about the H'san and their ancient, deeply hidden weapons cache, Torin's trust of them has devolved even further.
      "The H’san were the Eldest of the Elder Races. They sang to the dawn. They loved cheese. For most of the Confederation, that was enough." But not for Torin!
      Presit of course becomes involved and with all theses free wheeling, loose cannons the stakes just became higher.
      I love the interplay between Torin and the rest of her crew, the way she reads a situation, and her easy acceptance of those who are different. Her understanding of the different races is shrewd and most often compassionate, except where fools abound.
      Another great ex Gunnery Sergeant, now Warden Torin happening!

      Began reading this author in the1980's and her work just keeps getting better. This was the third in a series but after a couple of chapters I was able to follow the story. The characters are well rounded, the setting easy to visualise and the story holds your attention to the end. Will be getting the first two books shortly for a complete read.
      Elder aliens raced who have risen above violence need the newly discovered younger(less technologically advanced) raced to fight a war for them when a new menace appears. They invite them into the Commonwealth,help modify their equipment so they win the war. Now that it's over are these aggressive raced a threat to the Elders? And is it really true they are beyond violence? Read the books, find out!
      I received this ARC from NetGalley. Thanks to them, the author and the publisher.
