Average rating3.5

Study the power mad governments of our Earth, past and present, then expand to cover entire systems in space, again with all the evils we've learned and known about like re-education camps, death and destruction caused by racial differences or just pure, ordinary greed. What's the solution to the power mad takeovers? This story delves into that with possible alternatives, a lot of action and more twists and turns than a broke back snake. Well worth your time. gmb 3-16-20

At times, the story gets bogged down in economics or politics. The ‘ethics' discussion is central to this series - and I'm not confident that the right decisions were made by the main characters. . . If indeed there are any ‘right' decisions.
