By Schism Rent Asunder

Almost as good as the first book, Off Armaggeddon Reef. This is not the beginning of the End, but it is the end of the Beginning. WC

Weber is still the master!

By Schism Rent Asunder is a fine second book in this trilogy. Weber's character development continues to be excellent. I enjoy so many of the characters, including the "bad" ones. I anxiously await the next book.

A Rousing Adventure

Before "Off Armageddon Reef" I had never read David Weber - Now after "By Schism Rent Asunder" - I am a fan. David writes in a easy to read fashion with all the little facts that make a story so compelling. I have gone back and begun acquiring his earlier books. He makes his characters come alive whether you like them or not. If you don't read anything else this year grab these two books and inhale. Can't wait for another book along this story line. Science fiction meets the buckaneers.

Excellent Continuation of Safehold Saga

While this book may not have as many combat scenes as some would want, the author continues to build the safehold world. The one thing (besides combat scenes) that David Weber truly excels at is world building. I'm definitely looking forward to reading By Heresies Distressed when that comes out.
