"...if my life was a building, the very foundations were made of reinforced irony."The Admiral is back! And once again he's in trouble. This time he's locked up in "the most brutal penitentiary in regulated space". What happens there is also aired as real-time entertainment for those outside. No one ever escapes. But the Admiral has a plan.
"The key to winning is never to play anyone else's game. Always make sure they're playing yours, and by your rules. The house always wins."
While this book is #4 in the Evagardian series, it actually follows book #2, Free Space in the timeline. (The third book in the series, The Glory of the Empress, follows different characters and is set before book #1, The Admiral.) Besides the suspense of the Admiral's current situation, this book also gives a glimpse into his past and how he became what he is. Though there's still a lot about him that remains a mystery.
"I haven't always made the best decisions, and there's an argument to be made that I might not be the nicest person. But I don't lose."I love this character so much! I wish there were many more books about him because I would read them all. But I guess I'll take what I can get. Here's another favorite quote from this book:
"When things like elegance and logic are just broken pieces on the floor, there's still nerve. Aggression could never fill in all the gaps, but a little audacity could go a long way."
Happy Reading!
(I know this series certainly made me happy.)
Sounds like a fun read!
ReplyDeleteIf you like science fiction, suspense and mystery this series has it all. :)
DeleteI really need to catch up on this series!
ReplyDeleteIt's worth it! :)
DeleteI'm glad to hear you liked the book.
ReplyDeleteI don't normally read a lot of science fiction, but once I started reading this series I just couldn't put it down. :)
DeleteInteresting series. Are you keeping up with the books as they are published or is this a longer series that you are catching up on?
ReplyDeleteI started the series just this year, so I had to play catch up with the first four books. But now I'm just waiting for Danker's newest book which should come out some time this year. :)
DeleteYay! You got your hands on book four! I liked Admiral and will try to read the rest in the series.
ReplyDeleteHe's such a great character, isn't he? I was very excited when my library decided to buy the fourth book so I could read it. :D
DeleteA good one.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
DeleteIt's always great when you find a series that keeps on delivering!
ReplyDelete:D Definitely a good thing.
DeleteThis sounds like such a great series. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like it. :)
DeleteI really need to try this series out! Glad to hear you're enjoying it. Hope you get more of The Admiral in the future. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope so, too! :)
DeleteI remember wanting to read Admiral, so it's nice to see that this storyline is still going strong.
ReplyDeleteYeah. It's just too bad the author's original publisher didn't keep the series going. He had to publish this book independently.
DeleteHmmm, a new series to investigate!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good one. :)
