5.0 out of 5 stars Best of Weber yet, 5 Dec 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: In Death Ground (Mass Market Paperback)

The Great Alliance of 'Crusade' fame is at war again and this time the perspectives of humans and their allies looks bleak. But Weber's heroes know too well that they have nothing to lose: this war wouldn't be finished with a treaty - this is fight for survival. "In difficult ground, press on; In encircled ground, devise stratagems; In death ground, fight."

This book is the best of what I had read from Weber. It combines high quality description of high-tech interstellar warfare with much larger scope than in his previous Honor series. Excellent description of deep space battles, constant tension maintaining from first to the last page and truly 'strategic' outlook combines to create an excellent reading. Can't wait for sequel. Must have for every fun of interstellar warfare.

I'm a little surprised, though, by some of previous reviewers complains about 'lack of character development'. I believe there is some misunderstanding here. Hard-core military SF (or space opera, if you want) is not supposed to emulate 'War and Peace', but it doesn't neccessary mean that it's worse! They are just different kind of literature and can't be directly compared. Extensive 'characterization' in "In death ground" would be as out of place as lifestory of _insert-name-here_ lieutenant from Omaha beach in 'The Second World War' or love story in 'The Victory at Sea'. In my opinion, additional 'human interaction' element to this novel could be entertaining, perhaps, but actually would add nothing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Winner!, 9 Dec 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: In Death Ground (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the 3rd book in the series (Insurrection & Crusade being the first two) and is a superb read. David & Steve have brought the battle between the Grand Alliance & the Arachnids to life. Humanity has almost been beaten and it is only with the help of their non human allies that they manage to survive.

Two years ago I had never heard of David Weber, but now I have read almost everything he has written.

The only bad thing I can think of is that the book ends prematurely. A sequal must be forthcoming soon otherwise this is cruelty in the extreme.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where is sequel???????, 26 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: In Death Ground (Mass Market Paperback)

Purchased twice, read 5+times, and cannot wait for the sequel. Classic space battles that are well within the believable future - no magic technology - just strategy, guts and heart warming depiction of the best and yes worst aspects of humanity and our allies. We can be bloodthirsty! Plot develops beautifully but leaves you hanging at the end - there must be a next in the series. Write the publisher and put the pressure on. I for one would pay for hardback sequel.
