Publisher's Summary

The UFS Phoenix embarks on a dangerous quest for the AI Ceephay Queen who rules at the heart of the Reeh Empire. For cover, Phoenix will use the enormous war being launched by the new rulers of the croma, Croma'Dokran, into reeh space. This war is intended in part to evacuate the corbi homeworld of Rando, thus righting a great wrong of croma history by rescuing 200 million corbi from reeh tyranny. 

While Lisbeth defies her parren seniors to use drysine and parren firepower in assisting the evacuation, Erik captains Phoenix, accompanied by Styx's four drysine warships, to the world of Eshir, where Styx insists the Ceephay Queen was once located. There, in the ancient, ruined city of Qalea, Trace and Styx must lead an away mission through buried layers of Reeh Empire history to uncover its long-forgotten secrets. Discovering the Ceephay Queen's present location could set them on the road to saving humanity. But Qalea's secrets have been hidden by the reeh for millennia, secrets that could rock their Empire, and they will stop at nothing to keep hidden.

Simply excellent!

At this stage in most series, by book 7, things start to get stale, or being stretched in plot to fill out an authors contract. That is NOT the case with Qalea Drop. The story is fast paced. We get to spend time with side characters that were introduced in previous entries and get fully fleshed out here. And the continuous world building!! Oh I could go on for ages. The deep deep lore and the intricacies of ancient stakes and rivalries and how those incidents millennia ago shaped the current crisis facing our intrepid protagonists never ceases to amaze and surprise. This is space opera at its finest and I cannot wait for the next entry! Someone at Amazon or Netflix or HBO should pick up the rights to this series and à la Expanse series, bring it to the small screen!
