Between the awkward phrasing, the poor grammatical skill and the outright absurdity this volume of thinly veiled torture porn gets nothing but my disdain. I would not suggest these books, or anything else by this author, to anyone I did not hate and wish to punish. These are books to be put down and avoided. ( ) The "origin" story of a young man trained as a surgeon and heir to a noble house of an interstellar empire, compelled by custom to become a torturer, the primary duty of Fleet Inquisitor/Chief Medical Officier. The training course is a set 10 levels, starting at verbal abuse and quickly escalating to physical and potentially fatal violence. This is often ugly, but not ugly enough to entirely convince and while the pace and interest level pick up, there is a discouraging grim despair, not inappropriate, pervading the initial chapters, interleaved with a telling of the standard markers for "this character really isn't the typical dregs, this one is" that have become, though they may not have been in 1997? when it was first published. There is a twist in the character development which adds interest and tension, but is more buried under plot that satisfactorily addressed or developed, and huge hooks for future conflicts aside from the core one left bandaged over. What's good is great, and what isn't is mostly an amateur flexing. A powerful and alarming character study. Every person on Station is obsessed with Kosciusko, who can do no wrong (except for that one little thing...) my thoughts on this are still jumbled. I have the next several books in the series to start ASAP though. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
