A Call to Insurrection

Another good book in the Manticore Ascendant series.
This book is actually two stories interleaved. The main story follows Travis, his brother Gavin (Lord Winterfall), and Lisa on their visit to the Andermani Empire. There, trouble and danger are brewing on multiple levels – military and political.
Meanwhile, back in Manticore, special operative Chomps finds himself busy dealing with a perplexing murder mystery.
The two stories come together at the end – sort of. The only real connection between the two stories is that the problems are being fostered by Manticore's mystery antagonist.
3.5 stars rounded up.
