I liked Out of the Dark until I learned about the vampires. I hate books with vampires!

I think Weber has gotten lazy in recent years. Just as Out of the Dark is an expansion of a short story, so have been a couple of others, like A Beautiful Friendship. In addition to short story expansions, he has gone off the deep end with neverending detailed explanations of how things work. This is a real problem in the Safehold Series. It is almost as if he has lost sight of what makes for a good novel.

Of course, having said that, I keep sending him the wrong message because I keep buying his new releases in hardcover and ebook.
