The Privilege of Peace (#3)
In bestselling author Tanya Huff’s third book in the Peacekeeper series, Warden Torin Kerr must decide where she’s needed most when a galaxy’s worth of trouble hits the fan…
Torin Kerr loves leading Strike Team Alpha for the Peacekeepers. There’s too much paperwork, and the people she’s trying to rehabilitate shoot real bullets at her, but the force she’s creating will change the Confederation.
That is, if the Confederation can hold. Too many malcontents are rallying to Humans First, becoming terrorists and rebels with spies in seemingly every network. The Silsviss are on the verge of violently withdrawing from their treaty. Big Yellow has reappeared with the alien warmongers that experimented on them all, and a furious and incomprehensible demand. And a certain general is growling out Torin’s name and pushing a reenlistment contract.
As the world she’s fought to preserve teeters on the brink of collapse, Torin can’t do it all—but with a team like hers, she doesn’t have to. And when the chips are down, there’s no one who can change the game like Torin Kerr…
Reviews
“Huff’s skill at worldbuilding is impressive and, over the course of the Confederation and Peacekeeper series, the author has created a complex, multi-cultural setting in which to explore issues of colonialism and the trauma of war.”
“Huff brings her action-packed Peacekeeper military SF trilogy to an explosive conclusion with this twisty third installment […] This rapid-fire adventure is brimming with tense intrigue and lively, believable human and alien characters.”
“THE PRIVILEGE OF PEACE is, in theory, the last of the Torin Kerr books, and I’m going to miss her. I think this is my favorite of the three books, and Huff’s dry wit and incredibly apt but satirical descriptions caused me to laugh out loud often enough I ended up reading a quarter of the book out loud to answer the “what’s so funny” question each time. Highly recommended.”
“It’s up to Torin and her team of extremely competent misfits to set things right. And kick ass and take names. THE PRIVILEGE OF PEACE is a very fun novel, and a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy.”
“The plot, full of small battles building up to a grand confrontation, moves at a breakneck pace, while Torin’s highly skilled team and their banter add welcome touches of humor to fraught situations. Enough threads are tied off to make this a reasonable conclusion to the series – but I’m hoping for more to come.”
“in a world where a lot of series either never finish or fizzle by the end, Tanya’s is stellar from beginning to end.”Black Gate
