Odd pacing in this book. The battle sequences are unusually short and occur halfway through the novel. The rest involves a lot of backroom discussions and politicking as we see a re-alignment of forces as they try to end the Manticore-Haven war we have been following for the last nearly 2 decades. Somehow the idea that it was all a plot by the Manpower Corporation seems unconvincing. The cast of characters is longer than before and the narrative continually jumps between all the participants, so the flow seems a bit disjointed. Basically it feels like the author is busy setting up the next novel as he pulls the narratives developed in the 2 side series back into the main plot.
This book is so nerve-wracking that I had to put it down a few times! Be strong David, be strong! This is the twentieth book in the series. Can you imagine juggling characters, events, relationships, places and technological advances in 20 books and bringing it all towards a satisfying conclusion. There are still a few books to go, mind you, but what an achievement this series is. It is hard to imagine how one man could put all this together. Loved it.
I enjoyed this one probably more than any other books in the series thus far. A very good read.
A little overly complex but a good read. Rather too much techie detail.
Wow, David Weber really likes to keep readers hopping!
