The Way Station Gambit is the second book in G.J.Ogden's Contingency War series. This book follows Captain Taylor Ray and Commander Sarah Sonner as they try to get to another Contingency Base. The book also follows Provost Adra and Adjutant Lux as they try to track down Taylor and Sonner.
I am glad to see Adra being given a much bigger part in this book. In the previous one she hardly appeared. She is a force to be reckoned with and most of her scenes were filled with tension. I adore her cruelty and cunning.
This book does give readers an answer to why the Hedalt wanted Earth to begin with. It does make them into a little less of a force of evil that does evil for evil's sake. Though the structure of the Hedalt Empire rewards cruelty over loyalty. At least from what we have seen thus far.
A character from the first book sort of returns in this one. They were one of my favorites and I am glad to be able to see them again. Even if it's not really them.
I would recommend this book to those who have read the previous book and are science fiction fans.
