The Serrano Legacy #5, part 2 of 2
Ponte di comando - seconda parte
Nota: seconda parte di "Rules of Engagement", la prima è in "Ponte di comando (prima parte)"
Brun, la migliore amica di Esmay Suiza, è stata catturata da un gruppo nemico e portata su un pianeta di detenzione. Ora deve cercare di sopravvivere, cosa ancora più delicata visto che è incinta. Esmay si lancia nel tentativo di salvarla, pur avendo contro la potente famiglia di Brun. Come se non bastasse, qualcuno la sospetta di aver tradito e di essere stata una complice nella cattura. Nessuno sembra disposto ad aiutarla, ma le risorse di un ufficiale della Flotta sono parecchie, anche nei casi (e sui pianeti) più disperati.

4 stars.
We see Brun coming back to herself in the second part of this book. But I admire how Hazel managed her captivity even more. The initial escape was quite exciting but then at the end with Barin and the Ranger wife turned into a bit of a farce.

Slam-bang finish
The second half of this book is much better than the first half. Every one of the downtrodden women we meet in the first half of the book are ultimately able to take down the brutal, misogynistic, fanatical men who have oppressed them and, in the process, every at-risk child is rescued as well.
Though the violent actions of the uber-evil villains of this author's military SF are frequently hard to stomach, if you are as squeamish as I am, at least EM always provides an uplifting ending to all of her novels.
The GraphicAudio performance is, as always, superlative.

This is part 2 of a reasonably good dramatization of the novel "Rules of Engagement" by Elizabeth Moon.
