It always takes me about 2 days to read a Daniel and Ty book as their writing style just hits the spot for me. Their books always makes me think of them long after I have finished. Creative worldbuilding, and moral dilemmas are outstanding features of this series.
In the Captive's War series, TY and Daniel skip the heroic rebellion trope in favor of a rational collaborator protagonist who waits for the right moment—only, what if that moment never comes? The main POV works to accomplish the goals set by his captors while also scheming to connect with their enemies, who, according to a sofa-looking alien, aren’t exactly winning. It’s all so delicious.
The story ends on a great WTF last paragraph setting up the next book perfectly. If you have never read a James S.A. Corey you are missing out on one of the best writers of Science Fiction for the last 20 years. Even their Star Wars novel Honor Among Thieves is one of the best in that universe.
