Publisher's summary
A new Cold War threatens the galaxy in this fast-paced and wisecracking thriller of spies and subterfuge.
Simon Kovalic, top intelligence operative for the Commonwealth of Independent Systems, is on the front line of the burgeoning Cold War with the aggressive Illyrican Empire. He barely escapes his latest mission with a broken arm and vital intel that points to the empire cozying up to the Bayern Corporation: a planet-sized bank. There’s no time to waste, but with Kovalic out of action, his undercover team is handed over to his ex-wife, Lt. Commander Natalie Taylor. When Kovalic’s boss is tipped off that the Imperium are ready and waiting, it’s up to the wounded spy to rescue his team and complete the mission before they’re all caught and executed.

Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen. However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To finally build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners, and a different kind of resolve.

Few know the warship’s actual name. But everyone has heard the rumors. The PUV James Keeling can do something no other vessel in existence can do—slip into another dimension, travel undetected, then re-emerge onto our plane and surprise enemy targets. But the thing that makes the Crypt unique also makes it a nightmare for those onboard; interdimensional travel causes hallucinations, violent behavior, and psychotic breakdowns. Keeling could be the Union’s greatest weapon, a game-changing asset that can defeat the bloodthirsty zealots of the Purist Nation, the Union’s mortal enemy.

Story
Mankind was beginning its third leap into the Galaxy, but Old Earth had so long kept to herself that her people were unable to travel safely among the rough-and-tumble cultures that had evolved on distant worlds. That annoyed Earth's rulers, for Hobart Floyt--a minor Terran bureaucrat-- had been left a mysterious inheritance by the deceased ruler of a small but wealthy interstellar empire.

Story
In the 25th century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person's consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve") making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.

When the colony worlds Adirondack and Silvern fell to the Troft forces almost without a struggle. Outnumbered and on the defensive, Earth made a desperate decision. It would attack the aliens not from space, but on the ground with forces the Trofts did not even suspect. Thus were created the Cobras, a guerilla force whose weapons were surgically implanted, invisible to the unsuspecting eye, yet undeniably deadly.

What a fun romp!
Moren’s second novel builds and expands upon the first. The plot thickens as compared to his first book, and the hints of a galactic conspiracy at the end leave the reader wanting more.

Well read and engaging from start to finish
Two things stand out with this book: first, Dan More is really good at writing dialogue. That may be due at least partially to the second thing that stands out, which is Victor Bevine's gorgeous narration. I first heard him read Hyperion - and if you haven't read that one I highly recommend it - and he brings a sort of velvety gravitas to the story and dialogue here.
Beyond the dialogue, the story itself is engaging and well written. It moves along briskly and the characters and relatable and engaging. Each is defined without being pedantic about it and the universe in which they operate has its own set of interesting characteristics.
My only quibble is that there are some places in the book in which I experienced a noticeable shift in the audio, almost as if the narrator re-recorded a sentence with a different mic or in a different space. That's distracting from the immersion and takes a few seconds to adjust to. But the story and the performance are both excellent.

Deep space espionage — yes please
Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve finished a novel in 24 hours, but this one left me no choice in the matter.
I suppose the biggest standout is the story. Full of interesting details, surprising turns, and moments that literally made me gasp out loud before I kept going. The chapters jump between the different scenes playing out in parallel while still keeping the pacing rapid and suspenseful. It left me wishing I could see this play out on a screen, but also wondering if it was even possible to give me more detail than I was already getting.
The character development is also incredible. The interludes flashing back to early developmental moments of our cast and their relationships was masterful.
The author is clearly not only a fan of the genre, but a skilled craftsman of it as well. Bravo.
Can't wait to dive into the next in the series, and secretly hoping there are more entries in process!

Engaging
A well written espionage story that's punchy and enjoyable from start to finish. There were a couple of performance recaptures that don't sound match well, but otherwise very strong.

Spycraft in space
I read the first book and really enjoyed it; Mostly because of the characters, but it doesn't hurt that I'm a fan of spycraft and intrigue. This folowup is, I have to say, even better than the first, and it left me wanting more. I'll definitely pick up any future books in this series.
