Sirantha Jax has the right genes - ones that enable her to "jump" faster-than-light ships through grimspace. But it's also in her genetic makeup to go it alone. It's a character trait that has gotten her into - and out of - hot water time and time again, but now she's caused one of the most horrific events in military history...
During the war against murderous, flesh-eating aliens, Sirantha went AWOL and shifted grimspace beacons to keep the enemy from invading humanity's homeworld. The cost of her actions: the destruction of modern interstellar travel - and the lives of six hundred Conglomerate soldiers.
Accused of dereliction of duty, desertion, mass murder, and high treason, Sirantha is on trial for her life. And only time will tell if she's one of the Conglomerate's greatest heroes - or most infamous criminals...
Jax has changed. No longer bad-mouthing and ass-kicking, she finally does the right things. It fits, although I missed the old Jax from time to time. Probably because I generally like her old style.
Aftermath is more than just the trial. I guess I'm not really spoiling when I say that Jax is not sentenced to death. What exactly happens in addition to the trial I'll leave up to you to read.
Conclusion: Although it's no longer the old, funny Jax it's still a page-turner and very fitting to what happened previously. Therefore, I recommend reading the series from the beginning in order to not miss anything of importance. And yes: read it!
