Heirs of Empire

Books 1, 2 and 3 are all fantastic. This one focuses on the next generation, the creation of new ships, and being stranded on backward worlds. It was a little slow, and had less space action then is the norm for the series. The book wraps up this book - But we are left hanging! Honor Harrington seems to get all the attention, and fans of the other series are left hanging! This series has everything a fan of military SF could want - except a conclusion!

It really takes a good author to handle the mixing of a gunpowder theocracy and futuristic science, but here it has been handled with class amd comes off with a genuine 5-star rating. A new tale in this universe is definitely called for.

This book is awesome. You get a really good feel for the kid's characters, but I would like to read more about Harry. I expected her to play a bigger role in the story. Overall, I found the kid's adventure more interesting than Colin's - that's okay since it was the majority of the book. I can't wait until the next installment! Did the computer accept Sean's authority???

this is the best science fiction series of books i've ever read. I rarely read a book more than once, but i've read all the books in this series at least 3 times straight through. I have trouble putting them down even to stop to eat. Mr. Weber, if you're reading this, I encourage you to keep writing on this series all the way to it's logical conclusion, the destruction of the Achu'Ultan computer.

The saga that started with Mutineer's Moon continues and I found the book to be a page turner. Treason, war and revenge in one book but not on one world. Musket and pike war in the age of lasers and rockets. Ok, David, where is the next in the series? I can't wait to get back to the lives of Colin, his family and his faithful spaceship.
