All, however, does not go according to plan...

I wasn't too impressed with the first book in this series, but the second book was good, and this one (which I bought from Baen in 2003) is absolutely excellent. If the series continues going in this direction I look forward to reading the rest of it. Highly recommended SF.
I may have to go back and give these a re-try. I read the first one, thought "meh", but at least started the second one, then somehow found other things to read. Might be worth a re-think. (As if I didn't have enough to read right now.)
