Books 2011: 195-198


195-198. David Drake, When the Tide Rises, In the Stormy Red Sky, What Distant Deeps and The Road of Danger (eARC).

All read as ebooks from Baen's Webscriptions. I'd been saving the recent space-battle adventures of Daniel Leary, a talented officer of the Republic of Cinnabar Navy, and Adele Mundy, librarian and intelligence agent extraordinaire, of whom it may be said,

It would no doubt do her good to interact socially with strangers. It was the sort of thing that human beings did regularly. She needed the practice, because she generally thought of herself as a species not dissimilar to humanity but certainly not the same.

What Distant Deeps, 2010.


I have an ongoing argument with much of Drake's work, but whatever I may think of his ethical pessimism and civilisation/barbarism oppositions, he writes very entertaining space opera.
