The Terran Interplanetary Empire has not seen such days of peace for many years. The civil war between Terra and Alpha Centauri has diminished to just the occasional scuffle.
In this calm, Captain Rhys Griffiths has risen through the ranks largely untested by conflict. He is delighted to find himself in line to become the youngest admiral Spaceways has ever seen.
But when one of Rhys' closest and oldest friends defects to Alpha Centauri, it sets in motion a chain of events that will irrevocably change Rhys' life.
For better or for worse is yet to be seen.

"Reborn" is a story of transformation and oppression, revolving around a slave race of artificial creatures called starats. Captain Rhys is a respected officer in an out-of-the-way position, but soon finds himself struggling to hold onto his authority and career while learning about the starats' plight after a lifetime of barely noticing them. The plot revolves around the major social tension that builds up around Rhys and the people attacking and defending him based on their own biases and goals.I found that all major characters were either total starat-equality champions, or black-hearted, corrupt villains (particularly the lone religious character), and that every one of the starats was a hard-working and honest slave just hoping for a fair shake. So, the situation came off as black-and-white in a way that doesn't echo real history and that misses out on some chances for character development. There are also a couple of events that seemed like "unforced errors" by the characters: Rhys changes his mind on a life-threatening decision within one page for no clear reason, an admiral fails to ask the most obvious question about the opinions of a spaceport's crew despite supposedly researching the place, and Rhys' allies do nothing for weeks while blatantly being isolated from him without orders.
There are some lesser quibbles like naming two starship crewmen Scott and Chekhov, somehow giving tiny Ceres a dense atmosphere, and some grammar errors and oddly repetitive exposition.
I wanted to see the ending (which is why this gets three stars in contrast to books I put down), but found it unintentionally funny. Rhys sneaks around an impressively badly-guarded weapons lab, a very predictable event happens, and the token religious man spends the last chapters lurching around trying to beat starats with his bare hands. He's literally vibrating with rage while screaming "blasphemers!" and "scum!" because he's so evil. There's a bit about "plasmid energy", a man says "You have opened my eyes to the truth" because the starats' cause is so just, and in the end... What? I had to look up the significance of the very last event, because that plot thread had vanished for 90% of the story. Also, Rhys wouldn't care anyway given his stated stance on the matter, unless he suddenly changes his mind again.
So, I did read to the end, and I wanted to like this story, but too many things about it bothered me. The biggest change I would suggest would be to focus on having some depth to the conflict beyond evil humans versus noble slave race.

Reborn eBook JFR Coates Reviews
It does have a lot of plot holes and logical issues here and there, some are pretty big. The character development is more like a character substitution, the main protagonist is very chaotic, not very well described. Still the book is fun to read and is very engaging, holds the reader in a state of tension. The parts about seeing the world from a different perspective are alone worth five stars but sadly all the issues make me not quite sure I can give it a rating that high. I like it, I hope to see more so four stars it is.
