very good read. of course any book by either author would be a good read. faster pace and not as much character depth as what I'm used to reading by D.W.. not that I mind, mind you. could have used more closure with some of the character's from the first book in the series. drama & emotion excellent. now into the third book. fills the void between Honor Harrington releases. all in all a very enjoyable read.
I am a fan of Military Science Fiction. This novel, indeed, the whole series, is one of the reasons why. In this, the second book of the Starfire series, David Weber and Steve White take a page from history, the crusades; and put it in a futuristic setting. To add a bit of complexity, the humans are placed in a difficult moral conflict by the warrior race called the Orions. The characters are excellently developed. The traditions and thought processes of the different racial characters are true and consistent. I highly recommend this novel and the whole series.
I am a big fan of David Weber.
