وصف الناشر
The third installment in the action-packed Sim War series
The Step, a faster-than-light method of travel, is humanity's greatest advantage in its interstellar war with the Sims. Olech Mortas, Chairman of the Emergency Senate, believes the Step could be used to contact an alien entity that might tip the scales in the conflict. And he's willing to risk his life to prove it.
Olech's son, Lieutenant Jander Mortas, has recently survived his first battle as part of the elite Orphan Brigade. The Orphans' new mission is to investigate suspicious Sim activity on the jungle planet Verdur—but what they discover there is far worse than anything they could have imagined.
Meanwhile, Jander's sister Ayliss has gone to the war zone as the governor of a new colony made up of discharged veterans. Ayliss soon realizes that she and the colonists stand in the way of both the Sim enemy and a sinister mining corporation with powerful allies.
All three members of the Mortas family are about to step into dire situations.

Another Solid Addition to the Sim War
If you're following the series, I really enjoyed this new installment to the Sim Wars. Ayliss develops as a character and you get a bit more crucial insight into her psyche that I had questions on in the previous book. There are a couple more minor reveals about the over-arching plot which will make for good discussions with friends. A very balanced attention given to father, son and daughter story lines, so whoever your favorite is, you'll get your fix.
If you're new to the story, I recommend you search on Sim War and start with Vincent's first novel in the series, Glory Main. Then move onto Orphan Brigade before reading Dire Steps. The story is space based, but centers around ground troops much like the Crimson Worlds series by Jay Allan or Undying Mercenaries by B.V. Larson. If you like either of the series, you're bound to like this one.
