Good review. I read part of the novel. I found it enjoyable and it had the usual trope. I remember reading somewhere David Weber modelled Honor on Nelson.
The timeline is sorta the early French revolutionary period but without Napoleon.
I've been toying with my own kind of Honor type story but with Iberian naval traditions cause, to be honest I'm kinda fed up with the Anglopshere navies in space operas.
In any case, I also recommend the Honor series it entertains but the series has its ups and downs. Some books are better than others but overall a real blast.
Thanks for the vote of confidence! :) I'M still toying with the idea. I might combine it with my own #starwarsnotstarwars story. Likewise, I'm still undecided because I have one I'm currently rewriting in a totally different genre. And I'm trying not to start the outline for a sequel to a first novel :)
I'm a panster/discovery writer but really need to outline/structure my stories
I have too many ideas running in my head. So I need to be systematic and work on 1 story at a time. But I should outline something like Anglosphere type space navy meets with Romance language navy. Former's a little snide, then some event happens (not a battle) where Anglo space navy genuinely respects Romance language counterparts. They do things differently but it's effective :) Maybe a mix of Hornblower with Master and Commander and some other tropes.
I have loved this book for 25 years. The audio is one of the best i have listened too.
I wasn't a fan of the audio, the accents were cringe to me. But I liked the print book!
Its easier to follow in audio, than in electronic. I can't speak for hard copy, since being blind, I can't read hard copy, save braille.
