Manxome Foe

Manxome Foe continues the Looking Glass series with the A.S.S. (Allied Space Ship) Vorpal Blade still looking for the Grik. Along the way they meet new allies, a shadowy unaligned entity, and have lots of in depth scientific discussions that seem to get more and more above my head.

As I have emphasized with the previous books in this series this science fiction book actually gives you the science behind why things work. It doesn't just tell you a spaceship can fly, or that it has energy shields but goes into a long discussion on how they work and the semi believable science that supports it.

For that reason I really like this series. The fact that everything is somewhat supported by a possibility makes it more believable and more engaging, though the explosions and heavy doses of action help too.
