This was the most disappointing David Weber involved novel I have had the displeasure of reading. Of course, I did not have access to the first two books in what turns out to be a four book series, so obviously missed a lot of background information. On the other hand, if I had access to book one, I would never have seen this one, I'm sure.

This just does not qualify as Science Fiction ... except for references to a star-spanning 'empire'. And it does not even have anything remotely approaching a conclusion. I was sucked in by the name David Weber on the cover, thinking in terms of the Honorverse. This comes no closer to that than the Safehold series. If you want a bit of an education into terms used in sailing ships, then this is the book series for you ... there are at least 120 pages of that!
