I would LOVE to have another book in the series. Dahak actually ended with closing pretty much everything. Heirs of Empire is a GOOD book. http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment13http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment13Fri, 24 Jul 2009 00:35:05 GMT@Greg - Counterexample, Prince Roger gets home in 'We Few' Sounds like a good book. I'll have to put it in my list of books to buy since your review of the Roger series was so accurate. Weber also wrote a series called Dahak which sounds a distant future of this series that you may want to look in to.

It is annoying, yes. http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment11http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment11Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:55:50 GMTI have this coming from amazon, but I have to ask, does weber finally reduce the number of "had merlin still been a being of flesh and blood, he would have held his breath", and "the being once known as nimue"? The constant repetition hurts. Otherwise, loved the first two, looking forward to #3. http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment10http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment10Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:51:50 GMTI get into military style sf every once in a while, but my interest always peters out once I remember that they *never* finish a story. It seems to be a convention of the genre that the war never ends, the conflict never gets resolved, the complete story never gets told. The author just puts it down and goes on to some other project, then sets that one aside in turn after a few books to pursue something else. Weber is as guilty of this as anyone. Honor never wins her war. Prince Roger never gets home. That's my experience, anyway. I'd love to hear about counterexamples. http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment9http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment9Thu, 23 Jul 2009 15:32:04 GMTWith all the amount of work you are doing on regular basis it's little surprising you have a time to read books. http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment8http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment8Thu, 23 Jul 2009 10:03:04 GMT"I'm sure the author himself wants to know that too ;) " i think weber knows. at leas for harrington series he has an ending in mind. "I would probably drop the series for a decade or so," a decade might not be enough :D. first honor book was published 1993 and i doubt he will conclude it by 2013. http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment7http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment7Thu, 23 Jul 2009 09:04:37 GMTI will push this up in my queue. I did love the Prince Roger books - the Honorverse - I am not so sure about... I also loved the 1st 2 books in this series. Fun!!! Richard K Morgan... I like some of his stuff - but there is also some aspect I do not like - can't put my finger on it.. That said - I read all his books. I did not love Steel Remains the same, but I have loved earlier stuff (Kovacs stuff). I am in the 3rd book of Mistborn presently - great series...(Brandon Sanderson). Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series - also loved it. Terry Goodkind's stuff - good. George R. R. Martin (taking too long to complete his series) . Neal Stephenson, Robert Jordan (very long and as of yet incomplete - still good). ..that'll do. http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment6http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment6Thu, 23 Jul 2009 08:25:56 GMT"...Unfortunately, it means that by the book ends, I was left with quite a desire to known what the hell is going to happen next." I'm sure the author himself wants to know that too ;) http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment5http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment5Thu, 23 Jul 2009 07:30:32 GMTi have just read harrington series as well (in about a month). now the wait begins :( next book is comming next year but book after that could take a LOOONG time, since last book was released in 2005. http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment4http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment4Thu, 23 Jul 2009 06:38:42 GMTThe real cool thing about the plot lines is that when you re-read the books you have to ask yourself what the hell is going to happen next. 'War of Honor' What is happenning with the new terminus junction. I totally forgot the first time through. http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment3http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment3Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:10:39 GMTWell since I have already posted I will just add Richard Morgan as one of my fav. military action writers. http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment2http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment2Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:01:16 GMTI prefer Timothy Zahn for military style SF. I've read one Weber book and I found it a bit too shallow for my liking. http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment1http://ayende.com/4076/book-review-by-heresies-distressed#comment1Thu, 23 Jul 2009 00:59:25 GMT
