First things first. FUUUCCKK!!! Talk about intense. I haven't seen action like this since Twilight.

I like how it started off with the aftermath of the night before. All the relationships gaining strength from what happened to them. Then Janice looks out the window, and there are Psi Cops everywhere.

Watching all the kids work towards escaping was brilliant, especially when different groups had plans crossing over with one another. Dorothy's was quite impressive. Why is it that everyone makes the mistake of assuming robots are covered by the First Law?

Aya, a Vice Admiral? Damn that's scary, although I like the names everyone gives her. I was hoping she'd pound the Earthforce ships, but what did happen was just as funny.

When Corwin didn't go for the hyperdrive controls, I actually remembered how the wonderful authors didn't tell us where all the Reflex engines where. Then he shows up behind the defense lines, races in at high speed and pulls everyone out, and fires off a REFLEX CANNON on the way out! As I expected, Gryph didn't chew him out for it either. There are times when rules have to be broken, and Gryph has proven this often enough himself.

Nice appearance by Truss, who did a great job in making Tremayne even more of a mess then he already was. Bets on what side he takes in reporting this little incident?
