This review is from: The long view: The final volume in the Saga of Rissa (Hardcover)

Okay, here we go. By now, if you have been reading the series, you know that Rissa Kergeulen is married to Bran Tregare, also known as Tregare the Pirate. You know that Rissa and Bran are planning to lead a fleet to liberate Earth from the foul clutches of UET. And you know that the first stop is UET's fortress world, Stronghold.

So what now? READ THE BOOK!

It may not be the best story ever written, but the dialogue is usually good, it doesn't get overly technical, and the main characters at least are likeable and ones you care about.

The only gripe I really have with these books is Rissa's language - it is very stilted, not at all free-flowing. But hey, that's the way Busby wanted to have her sound.

So - go out and get the book!
