Many books later, there is far less talk about space battles, which is a bad thing. Now it's chapter after chapter of people sitting in their offices, or hailing people on their com or in the captain's wardroom talking. They talk about what has gone before. They talk about their plans. They talk about how they will initiate their plans. Then other people talk on other planets which calls into question what the first group of people are talking about.
And then like manna from heaven, in the middle of the book, there is a massive action sequence, something that has building over the course of five years and three or four books. Which is a lot of talking. But after the MAS, it's back to talking. They do talk about what could be the next big MAS but the books ends before that occurs.
I like the character of Honor Harrington. But she doesn't do much anymore. This time out she is overseeing negotiations with the Havenites. Where basically we read about her listening to negotiations. I'm thinking of sending David Weber a copy of his first couple of novels so he can see how good space opera should be written.
