The first half drags and is pointless. The second half is great (if a little convenient). I suppose the second half couldn't happen without a lot of the first, but I wish it were tightened up. In particular, I wish Weber had severely cut everything t...more

Honor is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or do I have that backwards? Following a now familiar pattern, Honor is outgunned but not outmatched by the Havenites. Still gripping, but it could get old.

I enjoyed this book very much. However, it rehashes a lot of familiar territory if you have read his other books or watch his TV shows and documentaries. If you're only going to read one Shatner book, read Up 'Til Now. If you're going to read two, th...more
