I've got to agree with you folks about DeMarce's contribution to the series. I mean, I like getting the backstory on some of the secondary and tertiary characters but there was one of her books, "The Ram Rebellion" I think, where she kept throwing in the names of the relatives and friends of those same secondary and tertiary characters with such wild abandon that I lost track of who the heck she was talking about. Nor could I work up much interest in them.
I started "The Dreeson Incident" but put it down for one reason or another and never picked it up again because there was no sense of "must read this" about the book.
She's good for color commentary in the stories because she adds some personal/historical depth to the characters, but Flint really needs to limit her to that role and resume the primary writer role himself. I think that her books have just served to confuse the timelines of the series.
