I’d describe it as John le Carré meets Battlestar Galactica or The Expanse. The book is a solid military science fiction thriller, and it trades off power armor for spycraft. When things go sideways, Kovalic is brought in to try and get them out. Commander Natalie Taylor when he’s injured, who brings in former Illyrican pilot Elijah Brody. Agent Simon Kovalic is forced to hand over his intelligence team to his ex-wife, Lt. In it, we’re introduced to a global cold war: the Illyrican Empire and Commonweath of Independent Systems are fighting with one another, and when the Illyrican Empire sends emissaries to the Bayern Corporation, a planet-sized bank, the Commonwealth sends its own agents to check it out. Moren jumped publishers, so the marketing here downplays their connection a bit, and you can read this one without reading the other. One of the books I’ve been picking away at lately is Dan Moren’s The Bayern Agenda, a quasi-sequel to his debut, The Caledonian Gambit, which I haven’t read.
