Ambassador 12: The Unfolding Army

I've just finished reading book 12 as my desire to re-read the entire arc of The Ambassador series. Cory gets into and out of more trouble than you would expect a "professional talker" to ever be possible. l reread the series on purpose as well as for the pleasure it dredged up from memories. The Unfolding Army is a pretty good yarn, with Patty leaving enough unsaid and unwritten to cause me (and probably others) to await Book 13 when she gets the time. The arc of the series is more than just pretty good in terms of world building and character development. The development of Cory from a somewhat callow fledgling political appointee to one of the top powers in a multicultural and multi governmental society is quite entertaining. The contrasts between each of the groups on the gamra Planet Barresh and the rest of the worlds of gamra is fascinating. Yes there are elements of the story arc that won't appeal to everyone. But, the 12 volumes are worth the time.

It was a fun and enjoyable easy read of a series. Engaging characters and just enough social commentary.

poor Cory is not done sorting the universe for us. We need more.
