The Praxis

The Praxis - Walter Jon Williams The Praxis is the 1st novel in the Dread Empire series and details the end of the Shaa reign and the changeover to rule of previous conquered races (Humans included). One of the previous conquered races (the Naxid) attempt to co-opt rule of the remaining races and it is up to our main characters to foil this attempt. So starts the the wide ranging story with further details of this struggle still to be revealed in the next books in the series. The first book delves into how the two main characters became the people they are today along with the current events happening as the Naxid try to take control.

4 stars for an interesting read even if I am not yet really liking the main characters. Recommended for anyone who enjoys the space opera genre.
