It was fun reading, but hard to place it in the series.

I enjoyed reading the book, but I did had a hard time placing it into the series. As a stand a lone novel it was interesting and fun. Insurrection is suppose to be part of a series, but it doesn't connect with previous book in the series.

OK Space Opera in the Starfire Universe

"Insurrection" is OK space opera set in Starfire universe.

The story is a melange of the American Civil War and WWII-type, Pacific-style, naval actions. In this case, the frontier worlds break away from the center of Terran power. In the process they rend the fabric of the Federation Space Navy.

The characters are not real 3-D, but in space opera who cares? There are a tad more of them then I believe the authors are technically able to handle. I suspect the authors harbor a secret desire to write the sf version of "The Winds of War".

Good stuff for those looking for a content-free shoot-em-up.
