Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Infiltration
A. K. Duboff · 2019
74/100
👍 Worth It
A briskly paced military sci-fi opener that earns its keep through a genuinely interesting undercover premise and a telepath protagonist who gives the political intrigue a personal edge. Newcomers to the Cadicle Universe can follow along, though series veterans will catch layers others miss. Solid genre fun for readers who like their space opera with a spy-thriller lean.
