I just reread my reviews
of Rising Thunder and Storm From the Shadows
sadly I am going to cut and paste and use some of the same words here. I loved the initial Honor Harrington books. This another book from another perspective
and not much different, perspective on
the Mesa Manticore conflict.
This book repeats the
characterization of the entrenched bureaucratic morass of the Solarian
League. This book also has the Manticore
leaders finally realizing or at least suspecting that they are being
manipulated by Mesa .
This book is a disappointment in that it is extremely
repetitive. The same events are
repeated with a minor perspective change and it brings new meaning to Weber's
wordiness.
There are passages that evoke the same emotions of loyalty,
honor and courage that use to symbolize Weber's work. Sadly they are few and far between. It became a tedious read.
I have found Weber brilliant at times and consequently I
keep hoping to find that brilliance in each Weber book I read. It wasn't here.
I do not recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
