Must have been extreme fun, and extremely hard at the same time to write that book, what with reviewing canon history with glasses on tinted so heavy you can barely read the dates. Some passages there had me rolling my eyes so hard i was looking in three directions at once...
(like: the capellan survivors (ROFL) in the Liao Commonality may have had greater personals freedoms, higher living standards and a noticably better infrastructure within barely a generation under FedCom rule, but hey, they are back working for the greater good now, and with the help of the Maskirovka can enjoy the benevolent guideance of the Celestial Wisdom instead!)
Also loved Romanos version of Outreach, or how Xin Sheng really worked, what really happened on Milos, Hustiang and in St. Ives, and the snippets about the media where hilarious.
