Light but fun
I could repeat this review for all the books in this series. They are not books of deep meaning. They don't need to be. They are fun space opera. I buy and read them the day they hit the shelves. I have read the whole series more than once and enjoyed them as much the second time as the first. A nice mixture of action, politics, military sci-fi and cool gadget syndrome which im always partial ...

Awaken, O Church...know the signs of the times
An eye-opening account of those past decisions made in the USA by the government that has laid the ground-work for the current wars and what we can expect if we 'pull out' of Iraq. A must read for everyone who is in those generations since WWII and Viet Nam. To me, the most memorable line was where a foreign government official asks the question "Who is more prepared to fight the enemy, your ...

Great Start to a Very Good Series
This was a great start to a very good series, introducing the heroine, Kris Longknife, scion of a highly wealthy and influencial family, who chucks the life style to join the space Navy, only to have that life style rise up and bite her continually. Some will compare this to Honor Harrington, although the two series are quite different in tone and focus. I enjoyed the Honor series (at least ...
