Spoilers for Elizabeth Moon's Remnant Population

The main thing I didn't like about the ending was that suddenly there was a Bad Guy Patronizing and Threatening Violence character right out of B movies. After a whole book of exploration and discovery that was very much not full of B movie cliches. It really jarred.

For some reason, Moon (almost?) always has to toss in a melodramatic villain regardless of whether they really suit the book in question.
