I was a bit disappointed with this book. It seems a bit incoherent in the first few chapters, jumping around the timeline of the story in an unnecessary and confusing manner. It did eventually settle down and tell a bit of story, but I wasn't happy with some of the characters - they seemed very unbelievable.

I probably will get the next (& final?) volume, but not for a while.

Next up: Onward Drake! - a collection of stories to honour David Drake, and including two new stories by David himself. Most enjoyable so far.
