Martinez had an arranged marriage after Sula walked away in the first book, because she was asked to donate a blood sample before marriage. Martinez is married to the daughter of the Chen family, who owes the Martinez clan for making up its losses in the initial days of the war. The raiding force uses Martinez-Sula tactics, and destroys several Naxid armadas. Sula becomes an expert guerilla commander. (  ) neurodrew | Jan 31, 2022 | Didn't have my heart pounding like the first book. I enjoyed the action and even the very calculated separation of our male and female heroes. Husband has misplaced the third book -- aaugh! ( ) Je9 | Aug 10, 2021 | Great space opera, continuing the first book of the trilogy. Adventures involving space combats, some strong willed characters that must navigate a somehow rigid social structure, but manage due to their wits and abilities. The first book of the series should be read before this one as it gives a lot of background information. The action keeps exciting and the characters seem natural in how they think and act. The imagined world keeps believable although it does not go too deep into many details except the focus of the novels (old fashion military hierarchy and stellar combat at speeds under speed of light but with large accelerations possible). ( ) vladmihaisima | Jul 27, 2021 | Williams, Walter Jon. The Sundering. Dread Empire’s Fall No. 3. HarperTorch, 2003. In this second installment of Dread Empire’s Fall, there are bigger battles and more intense romantic passions. The battle descriptions are as good as anything in Honor Harrington novels, and the romance is less PG than we in Bujold’s worlds. We can see how much Williams wants to complicate the politics and species diversity of his empire. Again, we are kept moving through the story by our interest in our protagonists, Lady Sula and Gareth Martinez. Each character, for different reasons, has trouble figuring out where they stand in the new dispensation and with each other. Don’t expect all the issues to be resolved yet, but don’t let that deter you from enjoying their uncertainty. This is good space opera. ( ) Tom-e | Jan 20, 2021 | sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
"Space opera the way it ought to be [...] Bujold and Weber, bend the knee; interstellar adventure has a new king, and his name is Walter Jon Williams." -- George R.R. Martin Following The Praxis, Walter Jon Williams' critically-acclaimed mix of space opera and military science fiction, the conflict grows for the fate of humanity...and the universe. The Dread Empire of the Shaa is no more, following the death of the last oppressor. But freedom remains elusive for the myriad sentient races enslaved for ten centuries, as an even greater terror arises. The Naxids--a powerful insectoid species themselves subjugated until the recent Shaa demise--plan to fill the vacuum with their own bloody domination, and have already won a shattering victory with superior force and unimaginable cruelty. But two heroes survived the carnage at Magaria: Lord Gareth Martinez and the fiery, mysterious gun pilot Lady Caroline Sula, whose courageous exploits are becoming legend in the new history of galactic civil war. Yet their cunning, skill, and bravery may be no match for the overwhelming enemy descending upon the loyalist stronghold of Zanshaa, as the horrific battle looms that will determine the structure of the universe--and who shall live to inhabit it--for millennia to come.
