A review by tuftymctavish
Rule of Evidence by Jack Campbell, John G. Hemry
3.0
While I fair enjoyed the opening half of the book, it did end up following pretty much the same template as the other two in the series that I've read thus far; setup, event, court-martial trial. It mixed things up a little though, but having read three books in the series in quick succession I was able to skip over a good chunk of boilerplate naval procedural text.
The characters also feel stiff and wooden, predictable and mechanical in their dialogue, as was the plot in the latter half. Despite that it was probably my favourite in the series so far, for the first half of the book anyway. Perfectly average light-weight sci-fi/legal adventure.
