Set in the author's trademark Birthright Universe, during the years of the Democracy, when humanity has spread so far into the galaxy Earth has become a backwater, Resnick's second adventure (after The Fortress in Orion) about a crack team of black ops specialists sends the Dead Enders on a mission to break into the most secure prison in the universe and rescue a scientist before his mind can be broken and vital security secrets revealed.
VERDICT With the tone of Ocean's Eleven in space, and the devil-may-care attitude of Firefly, this story will have a wide-ranging appeal, from sf enthusiasts to those who enjoy a good caper story with an attractive gang of misfit characters who don't stick to the usual rules.
