I love David Weber books having read them all. This book and all the others in this series are nothing but chapters in what would be a great book. At 15 dollars per chapter, I hate paying $60 for a book, even a good one.

Haven't read it yet, but I got it before I expected to and it is brand new and untouched.

Looking for "space" science fiction was definitely dupped by the cover; which relates in no way to the contents. The character's names were extremely cumbersome to read, even once they were in my head. Where are the editors these days? difficult language, typos aplenty, and the good guys win too too easily. Love David Weber; really really don't like this series.

I've always been a fan of Weber's imagination, but now he's getting a bit carried away with it. This book--this whole series--is bloated: too much exposition and dialogue, and not enough plot. Every single character is ridiculously well spoken and all too eager to show it. I find myself skipping pages, and seriously wondering whether I should just give up and move on to a different and more exciting book (or series).

And let's not even get into the flaws in the story itself--I can barely even pay attention long enough to care.

I'll bet he could compress this whole series into one largish book, rather than the four (plus?) that it is headed towards.

I want the old Weber back, the one that wrote fast-paced and creative books.

Love the book, love the series. When is the next book in the series due out, please !!!
