The major complaint in the Amazon reviews seems to be that most of the story in this book is back-room and back-channel intrigue and politics, as well as espionage and other forms of skulduggery,
So apparently they've never read any of David Weber's other stuff?
Speaking of which, the E-ARC of "Uncompromising Honor" is up on Baen's web site. I'm about a third of the way through it now. :ugeek:

Finished Alliance Of Shadows on a flight today. Started Angeleyes by Mad Mike... It started off kind of slow, and then I thought I was reading Ringo there for a minute... :shock:

Yeah, the main character is kind of a whore, sleeps her way around space. But eventually she hooks up with a Grainne military ship, so she's doing it for patriotic reasons. And when I say she hooks up with the ship, she literally hooks up with a significant percentage of the crew while she is aboard.

Working my way through Ringo's Posleen series. Just finished Gust Front.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D
