Summary

Arthur's Seat had never sought a galactic role. A relatively new colony world, a mere 300 years old, the planet was always isolated from the galactic mainstream. But with the Empire crumbling after the fall of Earth and other planets taking advantage of the chaos to make their own bids for power, Arthur's Seat suddenly finds itself playing host to tens of thousands of unwanted immigrants, refugees who have been kicked off countless other worlds.

But as the planetary government struggles to integrate the newcomers, powerful factions plot to take advantage of the situation, and the refugees struggle to carve out a place for themselves, it becomes clear that the entire planet is on the verge of anarchy...and outright civil war may not be far away.

great series but boring story this time

Great series but boring story this time - found my mind kept wandering off - not a patch on others in the series. Almost gave up on it multiple times. However I'm eagerly looking forward to next in series regardless.

Disappointing

Very disappointed in this installment of the Empire Corp. A complete break from the story arc, bringing nothing to the series.

Very representative of our current global problems


This book did a good job of telling a future story that also directly relate to current world problems. On the flip side when reading a story I like to treat it as a way to get away from real world but this hits home.

Totally different

Initially i was going to down-vote this book, I'm a massive fan of the series and this book didn't feel like it really fit in, at first.

This is one of those books where I found myself getting genuinely angry at some of the characters and how situations were being handled, i was on the verge of down-voting the book for how emotionally involved is was finding it. It took me a few good long moments to realise that was the very foundation of a fantastic writer and thus book.
I was transferring my anger at the characters on the author.

After that realisation, it became something that i just could not put down until I finished it.

It can be quite a frustrating listen in part with the naivety, utter ignorance and sometimes utter jarring moments; very reminiscent of today's world and I think that's part of the genius of this particular book in the series.

Intense

This is one of those books you just cannot put down until you have finished it, which is why I got through it in a day.

It can be quite a frustrating listen in part, especially where the government officials concerned; very reminiscent of today, I think - we’ll all go away and sleep on it and come back tomorrow.

However, as with previous books in this series, it was addictive and I look forward to the next one.
