Author M.D. Cooper brings us Rika's next adventure but it should be noted that this book picks up right after the Orion War book 5 Attack on Thebes. A book which I have but have yet to read. But Rika and Admiral Tanis Richards get close since she brought her back from an attack that was happening at the end of Rika's last book. Rika also changes a lot during this book to the point where she is now a Colonel and has undergone major changes in her mech armer thanks to Tanis and her people. And her first assignment after reviving the upgrades is to go kick the Nites out of one their ally systems. This is a great book and yes it had spoilers for the Perseus Gate series too but I am looking forward to reading Rika's next adventure.
