*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2024*

This is the second time for me reading these books.  Mr Weber is a master storyteller! Loved every moment joining the characters in his tales.

I expect this review to be buried in all the other 5-star reviews, and that's ok!I really enjoy David Weber's characters, and this book has some of the best.  Good character development, good character arcs, good supporting plots.There is nothing bad about this book/series.I bought them as individual paperback books many years ago, but reread my Kindle version frequently.Buy this book!!

    Two good sci-fi books and one decidedly mediocre sci-fi book
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2016*

The first two books form a good story that is reminiscent of Stargate SG1 the tv show. I enjoyed the protagonists as they were fairly interesting. Giving Tani a old English accent was one interesting choice that grew on me. Having said that, they don't have character flaws to humanize them and there are plot devices that sometimes seem to come out of nowhere removing some suspense because you know that the plot will always find a way for them to win. The first book does a good job of introducing the universe to the reader and the plot mostly involves cat and mouse games featuring advanced tech between two advanced human societies. The second books plot expands to the fight against the great scourge alien menace. This book has lots of interesting space battles that are fun to read. The third book takes place after humans have won and are reclaiming the ancients empire. This book is by far the weakest of the three. All subtlety goes out the window and it basically bludgeons you with foreshadowing. Characters are introduced only to be forgotten about until the one thing they are needed for and then never again (prime example is the smart dogs). The antagonist (on earth) has so many plot conveniences that it is a wonder he even needs to plan at all, but he needs them because his plans are so overly complicated. The supercomputers that help run the show and the supposed intelligence specialists are either terrible at their jobs or lazy as they seem to be above checking records and/or asking people questions with their accurate lie detector (the weak in universe explanation only draws attention to the fact that they could be using this lie detector but can't because it would inconvenience the plot). All that is in order to make it plausible that the bad guy could win. Because the good guys are being nerfed so hard and the bad guys get buff, it all seems so arbitrary and the universe starts to break down. I thought that kids plotline would be bad but that was the more enjoyable part of the book. They had a fairly interesting plot about fighting a world wide theocratic government with limited advanced tech to use. Their characters also suffer from being "perfect." They always do the right thing and it always works out. The "failures" that they suffer are always temporary and would have been inevitable. Their only flaw is that they care too much and that is not really a flaw when it never costs them anything. Also, people in this series just fall in love at the drop of a hat. This review has gone on too long so i will just say that for the price you get two good sci-fi books and one that can be most favorably described as "meh." Purchase accordingly.
