Summary

Betrayed by allies, Commodore Gage and the Exiled Fleet must break free before the Daegon strike.

The Cathay Empire holds Gage responsible for a sneak attack on its forces; a crime Albion's last fleet did not commit. While Gage rots in the prison cell, the Daegon hunter Tiberian comes to collect him. Tolan, the Faceless spy, hatches a plan to smuggle Gage out of captivity, but risks an all-out war in the process.

With the Reich and the Daegon closing in, Albion’s Exiled Fleet must walk a narrow and dangerous path to free Gage and strike at the source of the invasion before all hope is lost.

Excellent, but a book between books

Well written and excellent performance. However it's a book between books. Basically nothing happens that couldn't have been told in a chapter or two. It's stretched out with filler and fluffed up, but still a pretty short book.
Not sorry I bought it as I enjoyed it, but I'm left feeling wanting more. The whole book builds up to a major climax, which is left hanging till the next book. I hope the conclusion in the next book is worth the time put into this book, otherwise I'll be disappointed with this one.
