An absorbing tale
This is the first of the Alex Bennidict series of books, the only one of the three currently available that is narrated as the main protaginist instead of his associate Chase.
Unfortunatly due to the release order on Audible, i have listened to the books in reverse order, but this has not dimmed my enjoyment of these novels.
Set in a distant but utterly belevable future of a human race spread across the stars with the lessons of 14000 years of recorded history behind them, and yet still vunerable to the same faults that exist today.
This book is placed in a time of political unrest and tension, the story line weaves through worlds filled with belivable charactors, places and events.
It is not a story full of violence and inconsistancies, but the story of a detailed search for a something hidden, which during the finding takes the listener into the worlds of the Confederacy, and in my case left me wanting more.

Mystery in space
The best start for the Benedict book series. Those who like solving mysteries, it is a very great read. Take it as a detective novel in a sci-fi setting.

Too many irrelevant details slow down the story
Aborted before finishing the book.
Much too deep indulgence in details that seem irrelevant for the story slows down the reading to a drag.
