For whatever reason, perhaps because the main protagonist is no longer in the Confederation Marines, I had problems getting interested in this book (#5 of the series). Then about half way through, the plot picked up and even became stressful, as it approached the quality of the previous books.
If this is the end of the series, then the author tied up several loose ends, but the last few words had a punch to them. I gather the author was allowing her protagonists the opportunity to return in the future if she wished.

This book follows the adventure of ex-Gunnery Sargent Torin Kerr, just after she leaves the Marines. Torin has been through a lot in the previous 4 books, and now that she's got someone in her life, she's decided it time to move into less dangerous work. Of course, things never work out that well.
This book isn't as good as the other 4 books in the series. It definitely feels like a filler novel, intended simply to move Torin from her military life into a new role. The humor is still there, but there isn't much action. We also see a different side to Torin, who is having trouble keeping her temper under control in this book. The story is all right, and we do get some old familiar characters, as well as some new ones.
Hopefully the next book will be better.

Torin Kerr, a favorite character, once again faces seemingly overwhelming odds only to once again come out the winner. Her military training, common sense and humor make for a interesting personality. I have read and enjoyed all of the books in the Confederacy series and "Truth of Valor" does not disappoint.
