Galactic Interlude

BREQ, the late Justice ship of Toren, sees sent on a mission in the Athoek system in order to maintain stability and prevent civil war unleashed by the multiphrène tyrant (if you'll pardon the word construction) Anaander Mianaai not spread it.

History in near complete disconnection from the first book, the author deals here of slavery, the landowners with an Agatha Christie approach. It is not unpleasant, it is not really innovative either. The final chapters suggest interesting twists that will surely be developed in a third volume.
