As with every romance novel, super predictable, you could tell what was going to happen by reading the plot synopsis. It was a nice, quick read and was what I needed at the time.

Sep 3, 2023 (Updated Sep 3, 2023)
5 TV series.
Each adopting roughly 2 novels.
So that meant there was 3 left unadapted when said series was cancelled ('The Flame Bearer', 'Sword of Kings' and 'War Lord'), with Netflix instead developing a movie instead of series to finish off the story.
Which, I have to say, does feel a bit rushed, with some noticeable absences (not even mentioned in passing) and, whilst watching, and with what seems a rushed finale.
I also have to say that Uhtred, here, still looks a lot younger than he was portrayed in the novels (especially by this point) and I don't remember *that* ending happening, either!

Here' we're still following the exploits - mainly - of Corran Horn and his fellow X-Wing pilots, as they resign from The New Republic (at the end of the previous novel) in order to launch an all-out war on the Imperial dictator Ysanne Isard, who has now taken control of the planet Thyferra where the miracle healing agent Bacta originates from.
So, Top Gun in space, basically.
I still find these more enjoyable than the newer, post-Disney acquisition, novels such as [book:Alphabet Squadron|42207529]
