I more or less expected
Speed of Dark to be a bit (
don't pardon the pun) dark and dreary, and I've turned away from
Remnant Population a couple of times in the past. My wife is doing PhD work at the same university that Moon went to (Rice University, that is) and they spotlighted her in the last Alumni magazine. The synopsese of those books sparked my interest, and, hey, I had 50 free dollars to spend.
I really liked Moon's Familias Regnant series (that was before I started reading Weber's Honor Harrington series, they seem a bit flat by comparison), and
The Deed of Paksenarrion was most excellent to me. I thought I'd branch out a bit more in her works. I'm not sure about the
Trading in Danger series, it doesn't look terribly interesting to me, but I'll give it a go, perhaps I'll love it and
have to have the rest of them.
