Major Quilan has a mission; to go to the Orbital Masaq' and convince the composer Ziller to return home. But Ziller will be nowhere near Quilan, even at the risk of not conducting the opening night of his new symphony. But is that all Quilan is here to do..?
As much as I enjoyed this book, the main characters left much to be desired. Ziller is petty and Quilan doesn't care about life. You just want to slap them both and tell Ziller to grow up, and tell Quilan that all life is precious, including his!
I do have some sympathy for Quilan in regards to his wife. He obviously loved her very much and this is a major reason why he feels the way he does. I want to slap him and then give him a hug.
I'm glad Quilan didn't succeed in his real mission. I won't say too much here, but it wasn't a very good thing and it would have been devastating.
Looking forward to reading some more, only a few left in the series now!
Overall rating
