Narrative Concering Books An Ancient Peace (Confederation #6)
The first book of a thrilling new military science fiction spin-off of Tanya Huff's Confederation series.Gunnery Sergeant Torin Kerr had been the very model of a Confederation Marine. But when she learned the truth about the war the Confederation was fighting, she left the military for good.
But Torin couldn’t walk away from preserving and protecting everything the Confederation represented. Instead, she drew together an elite corps of friends and allies to take on covert missions that the Justice Department and the Corps could not—or would not—officially touch. Torin just hoped the one they were about to embark on wouldn’t be the death of them.
Ancient H’san grave goods are showing up on the black market—grave goods from just before the formation of the Confederation, when the H’san gave up war and buried their planet-destroying weapons…as grave goods for the death of war. Someone is searching for these weapons and they’re very close to finding them. As the Elder Races have turned away from war, those searchers can only be members of the Younger Races.
Fortunately, only the Corps Intelligence Service has this information. Unfortunately, they can do nothing about it—bound by laws of full disclosure, their every move is monitored.
Though Torin Kerr and her team are no longer a part of the military, the six of them tackling the H’san defenses and the lethally armed grave robbers are the only chance the Confederation has. The only chance to avoid millions more dead.
But the more Torin learns about the relationship between the Elder Races and the Younger, the more she begins to fear war might be an unavoidable result.

I remember liking Tanya Huff's prior SF, more than I enjoyed this book. Though her usual central character, (now ex) Gunnery Sergeant Torin Kerr is back, my pleasure in her escapades is not. There was entirely too much made of how darn tough she is. That was one note that was rung incessantly. The other was the constant foregrounding of her Di'Taykan teammate's irrepressible sexuality. In both cases, it's not so much about those character traits as it was about the relentless emphases of them.Really intriguing, but not at 12 bucks for an ebook, sorry.
ASDASFKLFJDKJ!!!Flrble whargrrbl there are NO COHERENT WORDS! NONE!
It is always fun to spend time with Torin, Craig and their crew. Once again they are off on a dangerous mission. This time the mission is to prevent another war. If you have followed this series you know that the last book finished a story arc. An Ancient Peace is the start of a new series and story arc. The action is non-stop and the plot interesting. All is told from two viewpoints Torin and her crew and the group of grave robbers. The mission is successful but does leave some things hanging.
So yes this is the start of a new series, but be warned, it's also book 6 of her adventures. But new series and all. In that way, yes it could work as a standalone. But you would miss how she fought in their wars, had her adventures, found a conspiracy, and ended up with Craig. But, it works like it is.Torin is ex-marine. She is tough nails and she was so very military. But the previous series threw some punches and now she is out. But when you are out, they pull you back in! She has her crew,
Billed as the first in a new series, this is actually a continuation of Huff's Confederation series, building directly on the events of the previous book. As such, it may not mean as much to people who have not read the earlier books. That said, this is solid military SF, without the jingoistic undertones of so much of the subgenre.Ex-Gunnery Sergeant Torin Kerr and her lover Craig Ryder, along with the remnants of her last unit, have moved on from salvage operations to contract work for the
What to look for in sf ? Pyramids !!!! undergroung, full of danger, and some really funny shit. Torin plays Tomb Raider in this one and it's a very nice entertainment, full of things blowing up, absurd sense of humor, and some interesting ideas about inclusion/exclusion, modernity, sense of self after war for soldiers and their psychological trauma
