Story
When a training mission goes wrong, Sublieutenant Tom Thrush finds his brand-new career hanging by a thread. Desperate to redeem himself, he makes a rash wager - he’ll lead a squad in a mock attack, boarding and capturing the visiting gunboat Diana in record time. He hasn’t got a chance, and to make matters worse, there’s a visiting admiral watching the attack from her yacht. Tom, desperate, sneaks aboard the Diana through a gun port - and stumbles into the middle of something much worse than a training exercise.

The Wayfarer, a patched-up ship that's seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past.

Idris has neither aged nor slept since they remade his mind in the war. And one of humanity’s heroes now scrapes by on a freelance salvage vessel, to avoid the attention of greater powers. Eighty years ago, Earth was destroyed by an alien enemy. Many escaped, but millions more died. So mankind created enhanced humans such as Idris - who could communicate mind-to-mind with our aggressors. Then these ‘Architects’ simply disappeared, and Idris and his kind became obsolete.

Summary
From award-winning author Gareth L. Powell comes the second book in the critically acclaimed Embers of War space opera series.
The former warship Trouble Dog and her crew of misfits is called upon by the House of Reclamation to investigate a distress call from the human starship the Lucy's Ghost. Her crew abandon their crippled ship and seek refuge aboard an abandoned, slower-than-light generation ship launched 10,000 years before by an alien race. However, the enormous ship contains deadly secrets of its own.
Recovered war criminal Ona Sudak faces a firing squad for her actions in the Archipelago War. But, at the last moment, she is smuggled out of her high-security prison. The Marble Armada has called for her to accompany its ships as observer and liaison as it spreads itself across the human Generality, enforcing the peace at all costs. The alien ships will not tolerate resistance, and all dissenters are met with overwhelming and implacable force. Then her vessel intercepts messages from the House of Reclamation and decides the Trouble Dog has a capacity for violence which cannot be allowed to endure.
As the Trouble Dog and her crew fight to save the crew of the Lucy's Ghost, the ship finds herself caught between chaotic alien monsters on one side and, on the other, destruction at the hands of the Marble Armada.

Good follow up
I enjoyed the first story 'Embers of War' but didn't like the narration. On 'Fleet of Knives' the narration has improved and the story is a great continuation though like many 2nd books in a trilogy leaves the ended very much open ready for the third book.
There are a few problems, some of the dialogue is a bit corny while the behaviour and attitude of the characters in places can seem more like teenagers than the older worldly people their meant to be.
There are some great twists which I didn't see coming while it asks the question of who is truly trustworthy. Really looking forward to the next one, though as I have the paperback will be reading it.

A degree of AI stubbornness
Gareth L Powell's Fleet of Knives is the second installment in his Embers of War series. The TroubleDog is back on task, this time attempting to rescue a disabled ship in alien space that was salvaging a derelict vessel. Meanwhile Ona Sudak is rescued from her death sentence at the request of the marble armada and unknowingly initiates the mission which in typical stringent AI programming fashion decides to keep the peace by destroying all war vessels and doing away with interstellar travel. At the same time, an evil entity known to the marble armada from another dimension has now joined the party.
Powell overreaches a bit here. The trope here of AI entities deciding that the best way to prevent war is to destroy and kill anything possibly relevant for warfare undercuts the sophisticated nature of the AI entity. Furthermore, when in the face of a clearly superior enemy to continue to defang potential allies is the height of idiocy. Finally, the need for real human eyes suggests that their science is not advanced enough to figure out what the eye is perceiving and that an organ such as an eye is beyond cloning / 3D printing possibilities. Lastly, there's a bit too much lamentation and remonstration over past actions by many of the characters that is almost asking for a "suck it up, snowflake" comment.
Given the shifting perspectives throughout the tale, the ensemble cast of narrators was a wise decision and adds positively to the pace and mood.

Beautiful Cover & Great Narration!
This has a beautiful cover image and great narration. Unfortunately for me, the story was what was lacking. It seemed to contradict things that were established in the previous book. The book also moved rather slow, unlike the previous. I wanted more to happen and yet the little that did, didn't really conclude in this book.
If you read the first one, check this one out for yourself. Maybe it's just me but something was missing from this one and it didn't pull me in. One part in particular really just made me flat out mad.

Disappointing sequel
The first book in this triology really gripped me and I finished it quickly - a great sci-fi novel with action and adventure, and great characters. This one just goes on and on, endlessly repeating itself without going anywhere. There is nothing interesting to latch onto either in plot or characters, and in the end I just gave it up out of sheer boredom. Read the first book and pretend this did not happen. I will not pick up the third book.

Second installment - already got boring
Very unfortunately, the seemingly clear plot line of the first volume is getting ever more blurry the longer the second volume continues. Because of that, in the end, my sympathy with and investment in the characters was approaching zero - I will not read the third part, sorry. I think the author lost the story and just wrote on for the submission/money’s sake...
The narration / voice acting is actually better with this volume - someone may have told the reader of The Poet about her misplaced emphases, and that annoyance went away, too...

Still love the setting, but not the plot
I enjoyed the first book more. This one was such an obvious rehash of an Asimov plot. Ona Sudak (or whatever her real name is) was once again an idiot despite claiming to have studied military history and still didn't realize the consequences of what she asked for, and then convinced herself she didn't care. I still love Trouble Dog and the new Lucy's Ghost. It is a pity the story has gone done such an obvious and unimaginative hole. Also, once again, Nod is another saving grace.

yes, let's put damage people in charge
So let me get this straight, humanity has no qualm putting a known genocidal maniac in charge of 1 million ships. That's like putting Pol Pot in charge of human rights committees in the UN. it kind of jumps the shark. Also for a rescue vessel that can hold 300 people to only have 4 people. you'd have at least a dozen qualified medical personnel and advance equipment for treating people and rescue. Being in hostile space, you'd have a contingency of security. Instead you trounce around the galaxy understaffed and loosing people right and left. definitely amateur hour for this book.

So very, very derivative
My 9th grade English teacher, Mr. Holmes, told my class that the work "very" doesn't add anything meaningful to a description. Adding it twice is a sin... His instruction has served me well for 20+ years, but here we are. To be fair he also cruised around town in a `93 (I think) YELLOW Mustang.

Slow Paced but Excellent Story Telling
I really enjoyed just hearing characters develop and grow through this book. I actually kind of like that the summary can be succintly written, but the journey of it is fascinating to watch unfold. True character driven sci-fi is a rare treat these days where a lot of books focus on the action at the expense of character development. It’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but I personally deeply enjoy the exploration of characters in these situations. As I’ve matured I’ve realized that the characters are what make the story great. Without that, it would ring hollow.
The arcs here are wonderful to watch unfold. Johnny growing up, the Trouble Dog working to atone for past mistakes, and even Ona Sudak learning the weong lessons from her earlier screw up. Really, intensely, interesting.
Just downloaded the last book in the trilogy and looking forward to the conclusion.
