About this ebook

Cory has made several commitments to members of the Asto inner circles. He needs to spend time with Thayu's son. He has also been asked to give a favour to a boy of the Azimi clan.

What better to do with a couple of pre-teens than to visit the theme parks that are historic relics from the 21st century on Earth?

Of course he has a hidden agenda. On a previous trip to the south of Barresh, Cory and his team found disturbing evidence that people from the former Southern California Air Corps made it to Ceren about fifty years ago. He needs to find out about them.

Except this is 2125, and the former city of Los Angeles is in Mexico, and the interesting places are across the heavily guarded and impenetrable border in America Free State.

While he's investigating, while he's being shadowed and occasionally threatened, while the kids are having old-fashioned fun going on rides and starting rebellions (oops), something is about to come to a spectacular crash.

It's not that the highly armed rebels of America Free State want to take back land that they consider theirs, although they do.

It's not the fact that Nations of Earth president Simon Dekker hates Cory and the fact that he's poking around in what Dekker considers his territory, although he does.

It's that the Southern California Air Corps is about to pull a very large and nasty surprise.

Ratings and reviews

At times I get a bit obsessed with reading a series of books. I just re-read the first 9 books for the third time prior to books 10 and 11. This book is almost a page turner. The details that make up the tale are a bit numbing. You have to ask yourself what kind of person takes an infant and several other kids on a trip like this one? Seems to me that the lack of a formal title for Corey is a real problem. The universe that all this takes place in is quite astounding. The characters that are featured have a depth that makes the tales of The Ambassador very worth reading.

I enjoy these series, but this book is again written from the first person perspective like the first one, and seems repetitive with ending all garbled together, whereas the rest of the book goes into detail about things that seem unimportant.
