Enter Ninjak is a great follow up to By the Sword. Aric of Dacia is trying to find his place in the world after being displaced in time, while the Vine (the aliens that captured him and killed his family) hire an assassin to kill Aric and take back the Manowar armor.
This book mixes intrigue and action. We learn more about the Vine and get to see the Valiant universe begin to expand. One thing I enjoy about this series is that it mixes genres fairly easily. Volume 2 continues the sci-fi elements from the first volume, but it replaces the historical fiction aspect with a mystery/thriller portion. That shift doesn't feel out of place at all. It actually helps drive the story in this second arc. I was definitely interested in picking up volume 3 after reading this. It sets things up nicely.
