review 1: Extraordinaria. Mi comentario es aplicable a los dos primeros libros de la serie "Man of War".Encuentro gran riqueza, profundidad y desarrollo de los personajes principales, y en muchos de los secundarios, que es poco usual en novelas militares de ciencia ficción. Hasta los personajes no humanos tienen personalidad y comportamiento específicos, en concordancia con el entorno de su especie.Aventura y batallas memorables, amistad, tragedia, sacrificio y buen humor, en fin, las recomiendo ampliamente a cualquier lector de novelas de aventura y novelas de ciencia ficción. Bien escritas. En algunas revisiones muy poco favorables encuentro críticas y comentarios repetidos con las “review” de otras obras de ciencia ficción de gran éxito; yo no he podido encontrar las ca... moreracterísticas negativas de las que hablan.

review 2: the plot? excellent, with less reliance on cliche than the first in the series. the most notable of these is the "incompetent superior officer" (who won't listen to anything you say).I'm docking 1.5 stars for excessive, and I mean grossly excessive, use of the doctor (among others) as ignorant people who have to have things explained. by doing this of course, the author conveys information to the reader, but it's really blatant, and it feels forced. sometimes the omniscient narrator can just write a few paragraphs of background information, rather than force everything to be tediously explained in dialog, especially when the dialog feels insulting to the characters. plus, is the fleet education/officer training so bad that the doctor, who is a senior officer, doesn't know some of the very basic facts about the ship he serves on? if book three, which should have been out by now according to the end of book two, doesn't significantly cut back on this method, then I'm done. This represents a very good illustration of why going through a publisher, who will force you to use a professional editor, may be a good idea for beginning novelists. if you can't get accepted, hire an editor on your own dime.recommended for fans of the first book who are willing to put up with sloppy writing to find out what happens to max. less
