SEQUEL TO HOW DARK THE WORLD BECOMES. Tough-as-nails former gangster Sasha Naradnyo is back in this noir thrill ride from legendary game creator Frank Chadwick.Sasha Naradnyo had come a long way from the slums of Crack City on the planet Peezgtaan—from Human gangster to head of security for Tweezaa e-Traak, the Varoki heiress to the largest fortune in the history of the Stellar Commonwealth. Then the largest nation on the Varoki home world collapsed into riots and civil war, a murderously anti-human Varoki fanatic made his bid for power, and the head of the Secret Police decided to take a personal interest in Sasha.Now Sasha must navigate the violence and anarchy of a growing revolution, come to grips with ghosts from his past who have suddenly turned up alive, make common cause with resistance fighters who want him dead, expose a conspiracy which will shake the Commonwealth to its foundations . . . and do it all without losing his soul. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).About prequel How Dark the World Becomes:“How Dark the World Becomes is a crackling debut novel that speaks of great things to come!

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Flawed But Still Far Above Average Adventure Through a Multi-Species Commonwealth Starting To Come Apart At The Seams. By Brian A. Dunning I have to admit that Come The Revolution is not as strong a book as How Dark The World Becomes, but the characters are complex and engaging enough and the world-building entertaining enough that I was more than entertained throughout, and I look forward to the next novel, assuming there is one. The Protagonist, Sasha Naradnyo, is our first person narrator, and mostly manages to avoid the sins of either excessively flippant snark, or excessive introspective wankery, and keeps the narrative racing along at a pace that is just about perfect for making you say "Just one more chapter" when it's way too late in the evening and you need to go to bed.At its heart, Come The Revolution is a continuation of the themes established in How Dark The World Becomes: The Cottohaz has serious structural issues that threaten its long-term stability on both economic and politcal axes, and Sasha Naradnyo has become entangled in one such issue. The Varoki, the oldest of the six races of the international and interplanetary (and how interesting it is to see an interstellar union in which there are still nation-states on several worlds, adding layers of complexity to the astropolitical mix!) union that is the Cottohaz, have stacked the deck of law, high finance, and political power firmly in their favor. But they've also built in a degree of corruption and factionalism that was making the Cottohaz stagnant and decadent at best and teeteringly unstable at worst even BEFORE humans were thrown into the mix.And now there are the humans, who have become the newest politically and economically disadvantaged minority within the Cottohaz, while simultaneously offering cultural goods that are gaining currency incredibly quickly. Aliens can't get enough of human art, human movies, human music, human fashion, and everyone wants to be seen with a nicely exotic human servant or bodyguard or two about their household. Not that you'd let one into a law partnership or anything.But as of Come The Revolution, things are changing. Humans might not be SO politically and economically disadvantaged. They're asserting themselves more, and gaining more allies from among the Varoki establishment, which alarms and angers other elements within that establishment. And without going into too much detail, the book title tells you that the future for a politically stable Cottohaz is looking shakier than ever.The world-building here is complex and layered without being overwrought, and if there's a problem, it's that we need to see more of the six Cottohaz races in future books! So far, we just have Humans and Varoki in detail, with the "Zak"s still present mostly as 2D stereotypes with just a few tantalizing hints at more depth and complexity.The characters continue to be outstanding, with Sasha displaying just the right mix of savvy and blind spots, cynical snark and idealism, to make him an entertaining and sympathetic first person narrator, with one exception I'll address below.There are only two notable flaws I came across in the plotting, and collectively they knocked this down to a four star review. First is a sequence early in the book where Sasha's usually incisive powers of observation and planning and his decisiveness that made him such a compelling figure to follow in the first book give way to a sort of aimless waffling that felt totally out of character. This waffling puts him where he's needed for the sake of the plot, and unfortunately while I feel like Frank Chadwick DOES have a good reason, character-wise, the internal monologue in this segment failed to sell me on it.The second flaw are a nested series of convenient coincidences or pieces of serendipity with regard to characters. I don't want to give the twists away, because I enjoyed them overall and I found their implications for the setting that the author has constructed to be extremely interesting, but I also can't help but feel that in his desire to keep the cast of characters small, he ended up trying to make too few characters accomplish too many things.However, I want to emphasize that on the whole this was an excellent book, and I came away wanting MORE. MORE development of the Cottohaz's political future, MORE insight into the rest of the Six races, and MORE on some questions raised by new information about big secrets in the setting established in this book. In short, I heartily recommend the book, and I hope very much that it's not the last Sasha Naradnyo story.

The protagonist made a couple of bad decisions which felt like "the author needs this to advance the plot", rather than because the character had sufficient reason, The character even said later on "I realize that was stupid, why did I do it?" but his conclusion wasn't convincing.b. The protagonist makes a big point about "Since event X, I haven't done Y". By the end of the story, he ought to revisit that with some soul searching, but seems to have concluded that it's not really a big deal after all.c. The story feels a bit preachy to me in a few places--particularly where the protagonist tells the villain "this is where you were wrong".If you're new to Chadwick's work, I suggest you start with The Forever Engine.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Sasha is helping from behind the lines--but still thinking through the options to give his associates the best chance he can By Dale Franks The second installment of the Sasha Narodnyo story is a completely different turn from the first book. Instead of being at the sharp end of the action, Sasha is helping from behind the lines--but still thinking through the options to give his associates the best chance he can. It's an interesting picture of someone who has had to mature from being a member of the criminal underclass, to someone who has a stake in his society, while still understanding the need to change it fundamentally. He doesn't need to personally shoot his way through this story, though he's every bit as fundamental to the action.Once again, a well-written and thought-provoking book from Mr. Chadwick.
