Why did I go so long between finishing the second book and picking this one up? I can only admit that it was to my own detriment.
This book picks up a little after the last one ended. The Odyssey has gotten repaired and refitted, and it quickly becomes clear that the stakes are going to be much higher this time around. That means the suspense is all that much greater.
From a more technical perspective, this book really fixed up the less great things from the first two books. The character bloat has been brought way down, letting us focus on just a few, important characters. Then, on top of the tighter focus, there is much more of a plot this time around. The previous two books in the series didn't have much in the way of a plot, instead just focusing on some very well done military action. That thrilling action is still present, but this time it comes with reasons for it and just some overall direction of the galaxy, the war in it, and the overall plot.
If you are hesitant about picking this book up after the second one, don't be, it is worth it. If you haven't started this series and want some books that are like a good WWII movie but in space, you probably can't go wrong here.
