" Book 2 in a series, the story continues after major naval battle, and losses, of book 1. The point of view changes with every chapter, which is not unusual for Weber, but it happens a bit to frequently in this book, making it easier to put down because you're not as emotionally involved in the story. There is a very surprising plot twist involving who knows Merlin's true identity. "
