Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

When the Tide Rises by David Drake



Commander Daniel Leary and Adele Mundy are a mismatched pair.   Leary a natural naval warrior and Mundy, a sure shot librarian.   Once again they go up against a superior force of the Alliance while defending their beloved Republic of Cinnabar. 

Daniel, again, uses his unique skills to address his orders in a manner his superiors never considered.   Mistress Mundy's skills in data acquisition provide Daniel with the logistical edge to support his creative military genius.

Drake seems to value loyalty and courage as he ascribes those characteristics as well as an inordinate sense of duty to his characters.

Drake demonstrates that leaders who lead with their subordinates fates in mind get the loyalty of those subordinates.

A little less action than I would have hoped, Drake became a bit pedantic in this volume.

Regardless, I still enjoyed the book and recommend it.

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