Title: Would have been an OK 300 page book
Review: unfortunately it was 800+I've read all Webbers books (not just the Harrington series) and I think he's a wonderful author, but somebody needed to edit this effort drastically.There are some interesting developments in the first 100 pages and the last 100 sets up the next book(s) but the rest is way too long winded. This reminded me of some of Tom Clancy's weaker efforts, a small idea padded out to long book.It seems Webber may be setting up the rumored "Manticore becomes the expansionist bad guys but Honor is still duty bound to ..." I really hope this is not the direction that he takes because it certainly isn't what I'm looking for out of this universe.Very disapointing, and I don't think I'll be buying the next one in hardcover.
Is the review positive or negative?
