Third entry in Simon Haynes's Harriet Walsh Peace Force books, which sees Peace Force trainee Harriet and her 'sister' Alice off to the nearby city of Chirless, the planet Dismolle's second major city, and in which a major criminal gang has moved back into to offer 'protection'.

Devolving, essentially, into one long drawn out siege, this novel is what I would term a light read - it's perfectly competent (probably miles better than anything I could produce), moves along at a reasonable rate, throws one or two twists in but is also, ultimately, forgettable.

NB that's not to say that I didn't enjoy my time with it - I did - just that I'm not sure if it is a novel I would want to re-read at a later date.

Book Rating
The main leads in this novel are two detectives, Wolf and Baxter, and they are absolutely incredible. The story is told from multiple perspectives, showing the hard work of many, smaller characters mentioned throughout the book. Wolf and Baxter are very complex and messed up people, but their witty and sarcastic life stories were a real joy to read. The bond between Wolf and Baxter is truly special and reading about their interactions with each other and other characters provided so much insight into their true personalities. I really loved the way Daniel Cole developed and presented all the characters in this novel.

The narrative of this book was full of suspense and surprises. It is pretty fast-paced, and the characters are being killed off quite quickly.

Claudia Gray is by far, one of the best authors that Disney hired to write new canon Star Wars novels. I love Gray's characterization of Leia, and I've been waiting for a Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan novel for ages.
We see the beginning of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's relationship, and the conflict within it. In this novel, it was revealed that Qui-Gon WAS offered a position of Jedi Master. Qui-Gon doesn't accept right away, because it would mean that he couldn't have a padawan. They both go on what is thought to be their last mission together.
Obviously, you know how it shakes out, because Obi-Wan is Qui-Gon's padawan in Phantom Menace, but it's still an interesting and deeper look into both characters.
