Major Scott St. Andrew has now served on both sides of the war. He and Halitov (his number one partner) have been genetically enhanced plots breathtaking, and the action was non-stop. The author seemed to actually breath life into the two main heros, each with their own distinct personalities. I cannot recommend this trilogy high enough. Astounding! *****

Scott St Andrew has been promoted to Major and with his company has been sent to guard a scientific outpost of Columbia colony. What neither Scott or Halitov expected was to walk into a massacre caused by a traitor in the ranks of the Wardens.

This story is told in flashback and is the story of two traitors in Scott's life, one in the past, the other in the present. It proves, if nothing else, that Scott has learnt from the horrors of his past.

These books are still entertaining, and it is interesting to see the emotional growth of Scott has he finally makes some permanent connections to other people. We also see some of Scott's future and realise at last why it was so important for him to survive the war. There's also a possible solution to his ageing and faulty conditioning problem.

However, having said all that, this does not conclude the colonial war story. We don't see the end of the war or how Scott slipped into politics at its end. This book could be read as the end of the story, but there's still plenty of scope and loose ends for another instalment of the story of Scott St Andrew. I understand the author had plans to write 3 more books in this series to complete it, whether the publishers will ever give us those books is a different story. Let's hope we do see them!
