Crime & Punishment
There's a heavy fantasy element to this book, especially when one considers the names of characters and locations Shadowline, Hawkblood, The Iron Fortress, Storm , and so on , which feels a little out of place at first, but these are largely superficial elements that don't really impact the overall story. However, Cook's experience with fantasy writing does leave its mark with Shadowline.
This book is really not something that should be thought of as science fiction, but falls firmly into space opera, which might help reconcile a known fantasy author moving out of the normal comfort zone of the fantasy genre and into the cosmos, bringing about an interesting look between the two genres and what actually separates them.
Shadowline provides all of the familiar elements of any sort of science fiction story: there are space ships, strange planets, aliens, interstellar politics, and faster-than-light travel, but in a large way, the story doesn't really feel like it's set beyond our Earth: it is a story that could easily work in a fantasy setting, with its story complicated story of revenge. In a way, elements reminded me a bit of other space opera classics, namely Iain M.
There's a stretch in some of those, but like these, Cook sets up a universe where this story pans out, with its own rules and cultures.
Dark Space Mercenary Company
In the beginning of the book, an attack on the world Prefactlas destroyed a Sangaree family and their business on the world, where they held a number of human slaves on planet. The Sangaree viewed humanity as animals, and with the destruction, a single survivor, Deeth, of the Norbon clan was left to exact his revenge upon the human invaders, a human mercenary family known as the Storms.
As Deeth survived, he fell in love with a young human woman, and together, they made their escape. Alongside this story, the Storm family rises in the region, with a dispute between brothers causing great pain and suffering. A third storyline starts with a tractor driver, Frog, as he navigates his way down the Shadowline to uncover a rich deposit of mineral wealth that puts him into the crosshairs of Michael Dee, a half brother of the Storms, and the son of Deeth.
The story weaves in and out of the issues between the family, crossing at points, all the while growing momentum to the end. The story is rich, interesting and worthy of praise for its fairly complicated nature, although at points, it would have been helpful for a list of characters at the beginning.
