An Ancient Peace

The hunt for an alien biscuit warmer. Seriously, some H'san got buried with a biscuit warmer and now Torin and co. are looking for a cache of ancient weapons. All because of a biscuit warmer. (That, let me tell you, they all have fun with.)

I don't think I can say enough good things about this book. I admit that I was a little worried because I loved the military part of the Confederation series and I wasn't sure taking Torin out of that setting would work as well for me. It did. The group that we follow is smaller and that lets them each shine even more. (I still love Ressk and I've got a whole new appreciation for Binti.) The plot itself was a LOT of fun. While Huff's books always have a good balance between drama and humor, this book seemed a bit more lighthearted than the ones of the Confederation. (Even if pretty much everyone is suffering from PTSD.) And there were a couple call-back jokes and, making me even happier, a bit of talk about deceased in their previous company.
