A crisis has arisen. On their first mission as a team, Pretorius and his Dead Enders kidnapped the real General Michkag and substituted a clone who had been raised and trained in the Democracy. But now they find that the clone likes being the most powerful man in the hundred-world Traanskei Coalititon--and having been raised on Earth, he knows how humans think and react. This becomes a many-layered problem for Pretorius and what is left of his Dead Enders. As the only humans on a totally militarized alien world, they must first find where the best-guarded member of the enemy's military - Michkag - is hiding and how many aliens, or regiments, or divisions, are guarding him, and then they must find a way past all his lines of defense to kill or capture him.

Synopsis:
The Michtag clone from the first book has decided that he likes being the ruler and using the military knowledge gained from his growing time, begins to crush the Democracy. So the Democracy sends in Nathan Pretorias and the Dead Enders.
Having lost 2 members and gained 1 in the previous book, Nathan still needs one more to complete his team. With the help of the knowledgable Madam, he gets an outlaw with the body of a bear and the mind of a steel trap.
The Dead Enders track down Michtag, kill him and escape. Glory and laughs for everyone.
My Thoughts:
I was a chapter in before I realized I had somehow skipped book 2. By that point I simply didn't care. Honestly, besides finding out that Character X and Y were dead and the introduction of two other characters, it made zero impact on this book.
Unfortunately, I was correct in my assessment that this trilogy would be a dud for me. The characters make their predictable one liners, act spot on just like the script says and the plot follows. I'm sorry, but you don't infiltrate the fortress that holds the galaxy's most notorious war leader and just have everything fall into line.
Bloody A, there was more security and potential problems for the release of the horrible movie Breaking Dawn than Michtag had in his entire fortress. It just felt like a walk in the park and it really, really, really shouldn't have.
I think I am done with exploring Resnick. If I ever feel the need to read anything of his again, I'll just stick to the Santiago and Widowmaker books. I know I liked those at least.
