I agree with everything that rhadin wrote about Torch of Freedom. I'm going to give my two cents worth for what it is worth (probably less the two cents). I think that the story line in Slaves and Torch is going to link up with the Storm from the Shadows story line, at least I'm hoping that they do. I think the reason that these books are dragging in the beginning is that the authors are having to go back (so to speak) and lay the ground work. If I remember correctly it seemed that about the first 1/4 of the Torch book takes place before you even get to the where Slaves ended.

Webscriptions does rock. Even thought this book is a less than stellar effort you can't argue about the Baen pricing scheme. And these types of books are more than made up for with the discovery of new authors I might not have found such as Travis Taylor, and Tom Kratman.
