Greta van der Rol's The Iron Admiral: Conspiracy was outstanding, but its sequel is almost beyond compare..
Deception is, in my humble opinion, one of the five best space operas ever written. Hands down!"'Loved Deception even more than book number one, Conspiracy. Well-written, fast-paced, a story of substance. You'll read this and its predecessor again and again.''I cannot recommend this book strongly enough. The author combined everything that is great about science fiction-space travel, "alien" species, politics, military engagements, technology-and everything that is great about romance-a strong, sexy hero and a strong, sexy heroine-into one absolutely breathtaking story.'
