Summary: And then what happened?
Comment: I read the other reviews here on Amazon before I ordered this book, but decided to buy it anyway. I'm glad I did, but... Moon is a great story teller--she builds many characters and situations and gives you the feeling that there's an endless font of imagination there waiting to tell us another tale. This book opened a plethora of story lines and piqued my imagination concerning where each one was headed. This time, though, Moon didn't finish *any* of the story lines she started. The book ends, and you don't know what's happened to *anybody*. Poop. That doesn't mean it wasn't a fun book to read, but I really expect a book to resolve some of the situations it sets up--and this one didn't. That wouldn't be enough to stop me from buying a future book in the series, but I do think it was a questionable approach. If I weren't already a loyal Moon reader, and this had been the first book I'd ever read by her, it would also probably have been my last because the plot line was so totally unresolved.

Summary: Come on guys it's not that bad
Comment: I have only recently discovered,or perhaps I shoud say re-discovered Ms. Moon. I had read her earlier fantasy series and thought they were ok, but nothing to write home about. Ove the holidays I picked up Once A Hero on a wim and I was hooked her Familias Regnant series. I do love a good Space Opera and this is one of the better ones going. I will admit that Change of Command does have a tendancy to suddenly grow subplots, but I found myself getting sucked into them and only being anoyed later that the main plot was crawling along. How can you not love the brassy big haired Lone Star ranger? I'd like to read a book about her case file. I'll be browsing my local bookstores for Ms. Moon's next book. I think she is going someplace fun with the loose ends at the end of this one.

Summary: Too Choppy
Comment: Having read all of the previous novels in this series, this one was a bit of disappointment. Quite simply, the novel was too choppy. It shifts from character to character too frequently, abandoning certain plot lines for hundreds of pages at a time, changing directions and tone several times, and overall confusing the reader by introducing many new characters that we don't know much about. This 430 page book felt like an extended prologue to an epic series. Taken by itself, it doesn't work. I'm currently reading the next novel, "Against The Odds". Hopefully all the plot lines introduced in "Change" will pay off in "Against". My advice: don't pick this up without reading the previous books in the series, or without also picking up "Against The Odds". As a standalone, it will not make sense nor resolve much of anything.
