I am not reading any of Asaro's books in order so I'm never quite sure where I am in the timeline when I pick up a book of the Skolian Empire.This one is more of a romance than a science fiction book for the most part. From the moment that Kelric Valdoria crashes on the matriarchal run planet of Coba, to the moment he escapes, it is more about the women who want to own him than about anything else. The dice game of Quis is an interesting part of the story, mostly in respect to how it effectsImagine you land on a world. Imagine the inhabitants of that world destroy your ship, poison you, imprison and enslave you, and force you into a marriage with one of their leaders. Imagine calling the rape that follows "making love". Imagine and insane universe where that "marriage" is legally binding in your home system. Imagine a trial for "murders" made while attempting to escape this slavery.That's this trash in a nut-shell.
In the end, I was just glad that this book was over. Even though it is #3 in a series - I bought it in the days before Audible thought to include this information in its catalogue - it started out strong and I was quite enjoying it. From about halfway through it descended from its stranger in a strange land theme into an episodic "...her bosom heaved at the sight of his thrustful loins..." type of pulp fiction and the story became more difficult to follow. I don't think it mattered so much that

One of the better books in the Skolian series.
I found the first few chapters of this book on the publisher's website and decided I just had to read this author! I'm glad I did!!
I found this book, the 3rd in Asaro's Skolian Empire Saga, much different than the two previous books. The other two take place in a relatively short span of time with the point of view being the heroine's. This book is more of a saga spanning over sixteen years. The main character is a very sympathetically drawn male and it's written in the third person. Also, the huge chunks of technical information that went over my head in the previous books were absent from this one. It is much wider in
I liked The Last Hawk, it was certainly better than the previous book I read in the series (Catch The Lightening).The story was a bit more explicit than previous books so be warned if this offends, but I didn't think it was too bad.The story is very planet based where a pilot is marooned on the planet without space travel except via an off world space port which he cannot get to. So if you like a lot of space battles this probablyisn't for you, but it does have plenty of action and intrege.
