Have to admit when I picked up Cally's War I expected another Ringo shoot-em-up. Nothing wrong with that, I enjoy all his stuff. But I was pleasantly surprised to find a totally different perspective, a viewpoint from a troubled conflicted grown version of the little girl I'd come to know in the earlier Aldenata series. Frankly blew me away.
Now Julie Cochrane has done one better, picking up the story, adding in the sister that barely existed in the prior story line and making her a pivotal force to play against not only with the sisterly familial interactions but very subtle politics on the interstellar level.
Excellent read, high adventure, characters you can care about.
My only gripe is for pete's sake get Cally back to a slab and fix her double barrelled handicap. It's only right.

this book was as usual very good,, The thing that has stuck in my mind,as I am sure in many others. What happened between the last posleen battles on Earth to the time of the cally story?? How did the earthmen uncovere, and nullify, for the most part the part the elfs were playing all along in trying to control the rest of the races.. Too many loose ends and assumptions are flying around and left unresolved to bridge ther gap between the main posleen situation and those covered in the cally story and sister time.

Julie Cochrane and John Ringo have created another good book in the Posleen War novels. It continues the story of Cally, Papa O'neal and brings in her sister Michelle. Provides good combat, plenty of action plus humor.

If you are a fan of the previous novels in the Posleenverse, make sure to pick this one up.
