Sometime Life Doesn’t Go On

Well I just finished Missing in Action by Peter David yesterday evening. This is the most recent of the New Frontier Series. It picks up right where the previous book ended. I have an even better understanding of the necessity of the note to the reader that I mentioned at the beginning of the review for the last book. This book could make some readers mad.

This book is pretty much non-stop. There is a lot more action and it draws the reader through the story a little faster. Calhoun and the Excalibur are trapped in another universe trying to get home, but really that’s a side plot. The main play is still with the women of the books, Admiral Shelby, Captain Meuller, and Lt. Commander Robin Leffler. They are trying to find out what happened to Calhoun, stop a civil war in the Thallonian Protectorate, and save countless lives in the process. You know, the usual fare. People will be pissed off because, shit happens, the world changes, and people die. And time keeps moving forward, inexorably.
