- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Weak and the Innocent (The Frontiers Saga (Part 1) #14) In war who are the weak and the innocent? They are countless hapless civilians on liberated worlds caught between the Alliance and Jung as they battle for control. What right does the Alliance have to cause the death of innocents mere to protect Earth?
On Earth politics rears its ugly head as an Admiral turned politician starts an Earth 1st movement. Earth ships should defend Earth and not her allies. This potentially pits a crimp into the plans of making a 30 light year safety zone around her. Could this Admiral who was captured during the Jung invasion of Earth be a Manchurian candidate for the Jung? we are also given insight into caste system of the Jung and how that influences it own actions.
What I like about this series is that it can be read on multiple levels. At face value it's a simple space opera. Yet at the same time it looks at the political calculations behind military decisions. It forces the reader to ponder the effects of war not only on the warrior but also the civilians. The book begins to set up plot lines that may be carried over into the next series. So far this space opera has been an addicting summer read.
