Review:To much of this book, this story, has been tòd before in other honerverse books and short stories. There are new big events, but not enough to justify a novel. Any more honor verse books like this and I'm checking out. Read more

Review:As I've been waiting for this book a long time, I must say, not up to Weber's best or even his middle level.

Having said that, I realize that this is half a book, since the publisher decreed books have to be under a certain length. But still no real action. Just umpteen pages of review and setup, but no meat to this book.

Action slow and incomplete, no surprises, no nothing. Blow up the SLN Fleet, ho humm another day. What everyone expects happens.

About Mesa a few pages to ... Read more

Review:I was rereading this book looking forward to seeing old friends. However, the detailed descriptions on procedures and equipment sometimes get in the way of the action sequences. All in all, a good read. Read more

Review:As much as I enjoy the Manticore series it can descend into long technical explanations. This book was full of great characters and a good well paced story. Much enjoyed, I can’t wait for the next one. Read more

Review:How to rate A Call To Arms? This is the second of the Manticore Rising series, which takes place several centuries before the Honor series. This Manticore is a poor, out of the way system recovering from a plague. The Royal Navy is a neglected, understrength political football.

The reason known to the reader is a transtellar corporation has discovered Manticore has the junction of one or more w... Read more

Review:Any one remember the little old lady looking at her hamburger and asking where's the BEEF? There was another story about the restaurant manager asking a patron. How did you find your Streak sir? With that the gentleman said well I just picked up the pickle and their it was.

So I might say Steak=Honor=Beef. So gimmie da BEEF.

Review:How long is it going to take for Plum to learn? is she developmentally slow? She still can't shoot, put hand cuffs on keep a car. She is an insult to women. I purchased some of her books when Borders was going out of business, Im going to skim those (you really don' thave to read them) and then I'm through. I don't plan to pick up another one of these books until I read a review saying that the character has grown. Read more

Review:Blake Reviews The Eyes of the Dragon

In the 1980's, Stephen King produced one of his least popular works of fiction, The Eyes of the Dragon. The Eyes of the Dragon was unpopular because it was a children's story, written by Stephen King... You see the problem? Let me illustrate with my real-life example:

“Blake, what are you reading?” Mom says, eyes filled with righteous anger, fueled by too many bad parenting books.
“Um... a children's book... called The Eyes of the Dragon,” I ... Read more
