Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-12 00:00:00 David Velarde I'm an on-again, off-again Poul Anderson reader, and have mixed memories of the Dominic Flandry series. I picked this one up on a whim -- Jo Walton has been rereading and recommending some old Poul A. books and the cover of this one caught my eye... (can't say why, lol) I had fun with this one. The protag is Diana, a daughter of Flandry. She's an engaging character, as is her alien co-protag. The MacGuffin here is an Admiral trying to seize the aging Terran Empire, and it's... adequate. Fortunately, PA's world-building is at its best here, as is his writing. Old-fashioned planetary romance done right. Recommended.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-29 00:00:00 Leander Mase Diana is an engaging character, I loved the Tigery and the Woden characters even more. Flandry makes a small appearance to reward the heroes in the end. This was one I had not read before and as the ending to the Flandry series it is light-weight.
