I enjoyed the first two books in this series, as the colorful characters and close combat are hallmarks of this pair of authors. However, the deep integration of this setting into the politics of the Galaxy's Edge series is disappointing. I hoped these stories would remain independent of that complicated political environment.
The antagonists in this third volume are powerful opponents, and the authors establish a framework for a larger series as shadowy entities engage in a broader conflict. The plot is strong, though the behind-the-scenes power politics are less effective. The core action remains fun despite the increasingly tangled broader story line. 4/5 Stars.
