They are the Starred Stoats— the elite of the Fifth Fleet of the Russian Empire, the best of the best. There are only three of them—the survivors of a terrible slaughter that was provoked in the Russian colony, the planet Far Shelter. After several years, fate gave them a chance—to punish those responsible for that senseless bloody massacre—and they will not miss it.
Only three of them stand against whole armies of space mafia gunmen—yet the Stoats’ unit remains combat-capable as long as at least one fighter is alive.
It is pleasant that the World of the Eternal continues to be present in the author’s work. With attention I follow the development of the image of the Russian Empire and, for the most part, share Zlotnikov’s viewpoint. And, of course, the plot and narration— in the best traditions of Zlotnikov’s action style. One can hope for a continuation. However, is it possible to stretch it to the level of the Eternal?
