On the one hand, it\u2019s a combination of common tropes: the outsider\/enemy coming to understand humanity through living among them and a \u201clower decks\u201d view of life on a starship. On the other hand, it\u2019s done quite well, without being too \u201cwink-wink, nudge-nudge, remember this bit?\u201d when the book\u2019s events intersect with known missions. A good start to the trilogy (or hexology, I suppose, as there is another trilogy following the events of this one).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2022\/12\/24\/%f0%9f%93%9a-the-edge-of-the-sword-by-kevin-ryan\/597d5a8f-9251-4a9f-878b-0cc1a4c97d32\/#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-26376\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/597D5A8F-9251-4A9F-878B-0CC1A4C97D32-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Michael holding The Edge of the Sword.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-26376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/597D5A8F-9251-4A9F-878B-0CC1A4C97D32-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/597D5A8F-9251-4A9F-878B-0CC1A4C97D32-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/597D5A8F-9251-4A9F-878B-0CC1A4C97D32-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/597D5A8F-9251-4A9F-878B-0CC1A4C97D32-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/597D5A8F-9251-4A9F-878B-0CC1A4C97D32-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the one hand, it\u2019s a combination of common tropes, on the other hand, it\u2019s done quite well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2036,2049,2047],"tags":[4230,4229,4097],"class_list":["post-26375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-photos","category-star-trek","tag-errand-of-vengeance","tag-kevin-ryan","tag-star-trek"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26375\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
