There are aliens in thistale, a tricky diplomatic assignment, assassinations, more of those factions,and quite a lot of tea drinking.

Now, I didn't find them simplistic or dumbed down in any way.The world building I thought is excellent, and the plot moves along at acracking good pace.

Catalyst Gate brings the trilogy to a stunning climax.

In Chaos Vector,the universe opens wider and darker.

The first book has a fantasy feel with swords and dynastiesand corrupt priesthoods.

But by Howling Dark, the second book, it's fullthrottle space opera. There are massive battles, ancient secrets, and moralreckonings on a galactic scale.

In the first book, Leviathan Wakes, there'sa nice detective noir element with a washed out cop who teams up with Holdento track down a missing daughter.

For me, this dual consciousness is one of the most memorable aspectsof the novel.

I really like the characters in these books and I like thestrange kendrical physics in the various factions of the Hexark and theidiosyncratic customs and norms of this society.

Megan O'Keefe's Protectorate trilogy is arelentless and twistfilled space opera that fuses high stakes action, rogue AI,secret technologies, and complex human drama into a gripping story of survivaland revelation.
