Four stars Fistybee I had to give this one four stars. By now we know the characters, who they are, what they stand for, how they are connected. In my humble opinion, Jay spends too much time and space reminding us of all of that. I found myself skipping past said rehashes. Other than that one niggling little thing, the story was as usual, fantastic! Now, onto "The Fall"!. "These Books Are "Keepers"!" according to Texas Mom. Another must-read tale in this excellent series. For all fans of futuristic military sci-fi, these books as "keepers"! Recommended.. Five Stars Good series.
