One of the better entries in the series, particularly since it has the characters' pro-Imperium views seriously challenged. Full review: https://fakegeekboy.wordpress.com/2019/08/29/mini-review-just-say-no-to-the-greater-good-kids/

No longer being chased by implacable, force-of-nature villains or trapped with their backs against the wall, in book 3 the gang get a little time to breathe, experience a bit more of the galaxy and properly interact with new characters and members of another species. The frontier station they find themselves on is a bit like Precipice from Blackstone Fortress, offering all sorts of interesting opportunities to explore the wild variety of 40k life, and allows Scott to touch on a key 40k theme of Imperial xenophobia. Interactions with the Tau inevitably bring up the Imperial anti-xenos philosophy, but the children have already developed strong bonds with the Jokaero Fleapit and naturally question what they see. It might be a tricky topic for youngsters to grasp (or parents, for that matter), but it’s appropriate to the setting and handled sensitively, and adds an interesting new element to the characters and the narrative. That notwithstanding, this sees the characters continuing to variously clash and bond, and nicely kicks off the next stage of their adventure.

Another fun chapter in this ongoing saga. Some serious discussion of xenophobia which is rampant the 40k universe. I like where the author took the story in the end. It maybe could have been stronger, but I still thought it got the point across well.

Rescued but were they really? Meet the Captain and end up on a space-station where everything and everyone is against them. Can they stop fighting long enough to realise when things have gone wrong and save the ones that they actually care about. Whilst there was less about the Tau it shows the effect of The Greater Good! Technology can really be bought and sold but it was nice seeing the effect of the 'good deeds' or the darker sides of survival in business. Was highly grateful for the necrodex this time around.
