The formulaic pattern of this series could cause it to be dull reading were it not for the complex characters developed for the stories and the excellent writing. Chief among the characters are Daniel Leary himself and his Signals Officer, Adele Mundy. So instead of just having an excellent fun adventure story, you get wonderful character interaction as well.

Leary ends up righting wrongs done on a secret colony and in the process acquiring the troops he needs to foil the Alliance Forces. The story is a quick fun read. I recommend it highly. ~~ Gary L. Swaty
