Title: As good as Leo Frankowski's Conrad Stargard series, but...
Product review: I have to say that one of my most favorite things about this book was also what made it most incomprehensible--the way Mr. Weber keeps shifting from a fog of political intrigue so thick I could have choked on its atmosphere, to often-humorous, lighthearted scenes of Honor Harrington's family life which reminded me strongly of some of the more genuinely humorous moments in Leo Frankowski's The Cross-Time Engineer. After reading this novel, I agree with the first reviewer, who recommended that people new to the series should read On Basilisk Station first--if for no other reason than to give readers like myself who jump straight into the "Honorverse" with the latest novel a chance to get used to Mr. Weber's writing style first. Otherwise--great book, especially because of the humor!
