Sweep of Stars, by Maurice Broaddus

Review copy provided by the publisher. Also the author is an internet and convention pal, as he is with basically everybody at this point because he is just so darn nice and friendly.

So what do you want in a space opera? Do you want interplanetary politics? The Muungano empire has you covered, with its distributed system of ships and families, griots and captains. Do you want artificial intelligences who may be having a teeny little problem? Maya's got your back--and everyone else's--unless a little glitch is making her artificial life a little difficult. Do you want space soldiers fighting against impossible odds? Fela Buhari and her unit are there for all your space shooty-shoot needs. Do you want the drama of wormholes and alien races and what the heck is going on over there? Look, I don't want to go too far into it, because spoilers, but it's there, I promise it's there. This is basically a perfect kitchen sink space opera with something for every lover of space opera.
