I'm determined to finish the "House" trilogy but I find it to be no more 
than a poor reflection of the original. Some interesting ideas which are 
too drawn out - even the back stories of people like Duncan Idaho and 
Gurney Halleck (a gratuitously violent back story if you ask me), as well 
as the expansion of the role of Hasimir Fenring, seem particularly padded.

Duncan's time on Ginaz was nearly interminable.

I just thought it an odd aside to use the oppressed suboids as fodder for 
a brief political discussion.
