“This is a really tight piece of military sci fi, which functions as a thriller – you aren’t exactly sure who’s planning what, and therefore who’s winning. We follow Inez Kato, who is determined to bring down an intergalactic empire called the Rule, and has been brought to its heart to be forced into aiding it with her engineering knowledge.
