joyeuse13 expressed interest, and I figure she may not be the only one on my f-list, I decided not to wait to review Engaging the Enemy.
Unspoilered version: I'd seen some remarks on amazon.com that this one dragged until the end. I felt entirely differently. The difference is that this one has more political/manuevering as opposed to more shiphandling/space combat. There's some at the end, but the big conflicts are on a personal level. Aunt Grace is still evil. Kylara Vatta is still trying to figure out exactly whose shoes it is she's trying to fill. There's a plot twist that went in a totally different direction than I anticipated, and one of the space station's societies is... um disturbing? I definitely recommend this one, unless what you were hooked on in the first 2 was the combat.
