Fire and Sword. Stark already has released the Hounds, and he puts them to very good use in this battle of progressive and conservative forces across the planet. Under siege, the forces of his allies need help, and he can find them some. With his friend Simon's political influence, getting some technological assistance from a ship in the area could make raising a siege like bullseyeing womp-rats in the T-16 back home. A somewhat more powerful set of events than in the first novel, I think. 4.5 out of 5
