Book Reviews of When the Tide Rises (Rcn-Daniel Leary)
Book Review: A good - not great - sequel
Summary: 4 Stars
An enjoyed book, with Leary and Mundy and the cast back in action on another desolate outpost and long odds. Fans of the series will enjoy seeing them again, and the action they've come to expect of this set. For those who haven't read the earlier books, I suggest starting at the beginning to enjoy it a lot more. The unusual pairing of a Conquistador-like Cinnabar sense of honor and duels and romance with a reference-librarian turned spy and deadly pistolero may seem odd otherwise!
Oddly, I was both really enjoying it and somewhat disappointed. Drake's done so well with the other volumes that a really good book seems almost a letdown here. The characters remain great and interesting universe, just no real surprises this time. The fleet action is the only part I will actually say wasn't good -- too forced a setup and the battle tactics just not reasonable. Again, an enjoyable visit from old friends.
Summary of When the Tide Rises (Rcn-Daniel Leary)
When the Republic of Cinnabar doesn't have enough battleships to deal with all the crises in its war with the Alliance, it sends the next best thing: Commander Daniel Leary and his friend, the spy Adele Mundy. This time they're off to help the Bagarian cluster in its rebellion against the Alliance, but they'll quickly find that the worst threats to the rebels are the treacherous politicians leading them.
Leary and Mundy use electronic espionage, sub-machine guns, and shipkilling missiles to outwit political rivals, put down mutiny, and capture an Alliance fortress. When all else fails, they'll strike for the heart of the Alliance--and then throw their tiny corvette into a major fleet action.
A cascade of non-stop action as vivid as only David Drake can write it!
