Product Description
From Amazon
This is the third book in Diann Thornely's Unified Worlds saga (Ganwold's Child, Echoes of Issel), a serviceable military science fiction series from one of the genre's newer writers. It opens with series protagonist Admiral Lujan Serege in a hospital bed, almost fully paralyzed and comatose after taking the brunt of a terrorist bomb. At his side are his wife Darcie Dartmuth and their son, Tristan. Cut off from command and virtually isolated from the world, Lujan must work not only to heal his terribly wounded body and mind, but also to stop the plotting of his nemesis, Seulemont Remarq.
From Library Journal
Lujan Serege, admiral in the military defending the Unified Worlds against Issel Sector threats, recovers from a bombing by terrorists attempting to co-opt the government. Thornley (Echoes of Issel, Tor, 1996) creates an intriguing continuation of her Unified Worlds military and political saga. Recommended for sf collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Strong ending to the trilogy,
By Scott R. Lucado "I'm the other author named L... (Fort Worth, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Dominions Reach (Paperback)
One of Thornley's strengths as a writer is her ability to mix technology with humanity. In this, the third book in a trilogy that began with "Ganwold's Child," she nicely intertwines two plot elements, Lujan Serege's recovery from an assassination attempt against the devious political maneuverings of the Dominion. Within this structure, she is able to balance the two story lines pretty much equally--though following Lujan's arduous path through rehabilitation was (at least for me) the more compelling drama. I for one certainly hope that Diann Thornley has more works forthcoming--in a world of science fiction that seems conspicuously devoid of humanity, her novels are entertaining and touching, without being sentimental or juvenile.
