“Combines superb action SF elements and (surprise!) homage to the great novels of the Age of Fighting Sail (by C. S. Forester, Patrick O’Brian, and their ilk). Weber has an enormous audience that welcomes each enormous book.” —Booklist, starred review on A Mighty Fortress

“Highly recommended.” —Library Journal, starred review on By Schism Rent Asunder

“Gripping… Shifting effortlessly between battles among warp-speed starships and among oar-powered galleys, Weber brings the political maneuvering, past and future technologies, and vigorous protagonists together for a cohesive, engrossing whole.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review on Of Armageddon Reef
