In the third book of The Emperor's Edge series, all of the old characters are back. This time the second-character-focus is on Basilard. The book starts off with everybody on vacation. However, their well deserved break is short lived. Training with Sicarius at the location of the soon-to-occur Imperial Games (essentially a smaller, deadlier version of the Olympics), Amaranthe discovers that athletes are disappearing! What does she do of course? Cut short everyone's vacation and go off in search of the missing athletes!
Deadly Games maintains the quality of the previous books in the series, continuing the character development and revealing more about the characters' pasts. One of the more interesting bits of the book is the relationship that develops between Akstyr and Basilard. I don't really have much more to say except that the book is just as enjoyable as the prior books and the ending will leave you wanting more (luckily the fourth book just came out a couple weeks ago so you won't have to wait).
