review 1: Another installment in the colossal, globe-spanning series that is the 1632verse. This one, as one might expect, takes place in the West Indies. It brings back a number of plot threads from earlier books, and even though I haven’t kept up terribly well on the 1632verse, I’m pretty sure I didn’t miss anything on the big threads. It’s an interesting book, and a good contribution to the ongoing series.
review 2: I love the series and always look forward to the next book to come out. Eddie Cantrell is one of the original characters from book #1 and I was looking forward to seeing him again. I wasn't disappointed in the role he plays in the book but I was a little disappointed in the book itself. There was just too much time spent on technical explanations a... morend too many characters with similar names. There were so many character that it took several pages in the index to list them all. Give me more actions, less explanations about how you dumb things down from our time to 1636 to make them work and cut the number of side characters that require a list to keep up with who is who. I do still hope for more of Eddie in a future book. There was certainly a set up for more. less
