Review
Okay, let's be clear this is a sequel to the Outcast Dead; it took me a hot minute to realize this. The story gives some much-needed closure to the earlier book that though left open, felt like we would never get the follow-up.
This tale has a lot to enjoy; our main characters, Nagasena and Severian, make for unique leads. Nagasena shows us a wise, gentle man who can be utterly lethal when the time comes. Paired off against Severian, an ex-luna wolf who is amazingly cunning and dangerous. Then dropping these into the backdrop of Terra is just the icing on the cake. I rather enjoyed seeing the Marine being chased and, for once, having to use some stealth to escape rather than fist and gun.
Ultimately, it ends with a twist hinting at the new organization being created by the Sigillite. The galaxy's worst-kept secret. But if you are a fan of the Outcast Dead, then this is a must-read.
