Re: A book you recently read and liked?

[(Anonymous)]

I've been reading David Weber's back catalogue for free online ( http://www.freesfonline.de/authors/David_Weber.html ).

I quite liked The Shadow of Saganami, the first of the Talbott Quadrant subseries of Honor Harrington. An extremely shellshocked Captain (as in, spent time as a POW of a brutal regime regrowing some limbs after having his ship and its escorts be pretty much annihilated) takes command of a heavy cruiser and goes to play pirate catcher in a backwater quadrant while the main war heats up elsewhere. After a while tooling around putting out 'minor' fires, dealing with political issues and utterly terrifying some space pirates (seriously, that sequence was somewhere between 'awesome' and 'holy fuck, dude, calm down'), he realises that the small fires may not be so small after all, and finds himself and his ship at the short end of the wedge. Contains the immortal line "What sort of raw meat to you people feed your cruiser captains?" when word of his exploits gets back to HQ.

(You can't really start on the Talbott subseries without some knowledge of the main Harrington universe, unfortunately, though I kind of jumped in at the deep end myself, using TV Tropes and the three-ish main novels I'd read to tide me over. This one does stand alone relatively well, though, if you've got the basics of the universe, because until the end things really are mostly focused on the Talbott quadrant itself).

I also quite liked the short story "Fanatic" from the same universe (here: http://hell.pl/szymon/Baen/Torch%20of%20Freedom/The%20Service%20of%20the%20Sword/The_Service_of_the_Sword.htm - go to page 17). You really need to know who Victor Cachat is before you read that one, though, because if you don't then you won't realise how utterly hilarious the outside POV of him is during this story. Well, hilarious in sense of 'you poor bastard, you have no idea how sneaky this genuinely murderous fanatic actually is, and it may yet save you all'. Black humour, definitely black. But. Still.
