I was ready to love this book. From the blurbs, and from Weber's own introduction, I got the idea that he was going to give us a new protagonist (now that Honor is too senior to be very interesting), Mike Henke, from whose perspective we could enjoy the ongoing rich exploration of this series 'honorverse'.

Unfortunately, Weber forgot that part. No singular perspective to give the events in the 'honorverse' a thread, a plot, or frankly a reason to continue reading what felt like a bunch of badly written historical fiction chapters from different books about the same time period.

(Oh, and Mike? Forget about it. Not only did she not have a story, she wasn't even in over 1/2 of the book.)

Weber can write gripping fiction (read any of the first 10+ books in this series). Fiction that gets you totally caught up in the characters' pains and triumphs, pulls you into a complex, rich, and cohesive world, as well has having you on the edge of your seat when the action goes into overdrive. But not in this book, not at all.
