I finished A. Bertram Chandler's First Command (from Baen bundle). Awful lot of errors: wrong quotes, missing dashes, in some places whole words missing. Also, Chandler's books are full of three dots at the end of the paragraph, often I was left with something like . " on its own row which looked like scenebreak.

But I wish I could have read them when I was 12. Grimes doesn't actually do anything, things just happen to him. He even doesn't use his famous luck.

I blame David Weber for ruining me. Even if I consider the publication year, subconciously I still compare everything in space with Honorverse. Just can't enjoy good old-fashioned space opera any more!
