Title: Stop before you go blind
Review: I am new to Honor Harrington, having arrived at David Weber via "Off Armageddon Reef."This story brings back several of Honor's crewmembers to man Q-Ships as pirate hunters in a system well away from the frontlines of the Haven/Manticore war. It is an engaging story and a relief from gigantic ships of the wall slamming each other in set-piece battles.My primary purpose in writing this review is to warn readers away from the Baen/Windhaven version. I have written to both the publisher and printer regarding the numerous read-ability issues this version has. First, the printing itself is too light and is on a nearly-tan paper...resulting in these old eyes needing more light that expected. Second, the binding encroaches upon inside margins. Third, the kerning is tight enough to further reduce the legibility of the type.Looks like this one fell through the QC net.Good story, well worth the read. Beware this edition.
