The sixth Company book takes a break from our ongoing plotlines to fill in the backstory of a couple of minor characters, and also fill the reader in on some of the political machinations that previous books have hinted at. This one was more of a bummer, though still very engrossing, as one of the characters is an amoral human-hating mass murderer, and the other has a lot of ethical qualms but is being manipulated by various factions into doing horrible things. But we do find out the fate of the romantic Russian! And presumably all these plots and people are going to start colliding soon, which should be interesting. A-/B+.
