The whole Blackbeard Universe is quite entertaining. It may not set the world on fire, but the concepts in the book are fascinating and silly. Traditional naval combat in the vacuum of space is not the most realistic but its a wonderful idea.

I also find the idea of humanity having to abandon Earth and various nations attempting to thrive on their own in the cold of space fantastic.

The series is cheesy and lighthearted most of the time, but it's just deep enough to bring me back for more. (

I was caught up in this book immediately, and found its fast pace pulled me along inexorably until I'd stayed up far too late at night reading. :) I found it a good example of taking something known (the British navy) and twisting it with something new (transplanting it to deep space and another system of worlds) to make a satisfying milieu. Despite the quick pace and action, I thought there were enough insights into the characters to make them real people and not just caricatures, and the plot was intriguing. A little disappointed in the abrupt ending, but a cliffhanger ending in the first book of a series is the rule rather than the exception. (

Yarr! Pirates, neo-British monarchy and a new triangle trade!

Well, I'll admit I picked this up as a bargain - the $2.99 ebook grants a $1.99 *audiobook*...

Wallace puts together a good scenario - an honorable captain, falsely courtmartialed, is rescued in a mutiny by his loyal crew and leads the Royal Navy in a merry chase. Troubling his loyal friend who is tasked to capture him, there's plenty of action, intrigue and adventure in an interesting quasi-Honor-Harrington story. Book two is queued up next - we'll see how things develop....

a fun little adventure with likable characters and plenty of room to continue developing the plot (
