Perhaps, my expectations were a bit high?
But I definitely enjoyed the book,and confirm my point I will read the next one.

You could use this series as a bedtime story. The kill'n is so understated, you hardly notice it.

I came to the RCN series rather late (after 6 books had been released), so when I found how much I liked the series, I started listening to them all a..Show More »t once. The narration is excellent and so unobtrusive, I find that I listen to the same books over and over. After about three times around, I think I agree the "Some Golden Harbor" may be the best of the lot.

I REALLY liked all of the other books in this series, so I was excited when Audible listed this book. It was a major disappointment. The opening chapt..Show More »er was good. The closing chapter was great. The rest of the book was mediocre. The reader had a very nice voice but it was poorly suited to the material. In the heat of battle, the narrator read as if he were reading a script for the History or Discovery channels.
The major problem I saw with the book is that David Drake seems to have become too enamored with the world he has created and there is too much minutia. For example, I really don't care that when a rigger comes in from the rigging that the metal connectors under the fabric of his suit show frost. I hope he gets back on track with this series because I liked the other books

I think if you like any of the books in this series, you'll like this one too.

First let me say this is another very enjoyable book in the RCN series but if you are looking to check the series out you'd be better off with an earl..Show More »ier book.

If you have enjoyed the series to this point you will enjoy this book as well. Nothing new gets added in here which might usually cause me to lower the story rating but I just found it too enjoyable.

As has been the case for most of the series Leary gets sent to another world with a simple mission which then leads into another more twisted and complex mission etc. For me I read this book at the right time so really liked it but the plot needs to start moving along. While we got a bit more of the politics in the universe it is too much more of the same.

Victor Bevine does a great job as always. At this point I could not imagine these books being read by anyone else.

So while I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed the series so far, it really is just more of the same.
