A Few Good Men

A Few Good Men is advertized as the sequel to Sarah A. Hoyt's Darkship Renegades and Darkship Thieves. This isn't strictly true. It is set in the same future and takes place over much the same time period, but is more of a companion story than a sequel. (It does intersect the earlier stories a couple of times, but they need not be read first.)
Basically, this is the story of a revolution told from the inside.
The main protagonist, Luce Keeva, is one super tough hombre. He has to be, because the story gets very violent and bloody. (Starts off with explosions, gunfights, and a jailbreak.) He also happens to be gay. That doesn't have anything much to do with the story, but seems to have been necessary to set up the initial background conditions.
The “Good Men” in the story are anything but good. They are the most powerful men on Earth and basically hold the planet in slavery. Their methods are pure evil. And Luce, well ... But, that would be telling. Read the story. It is good.
