Narrative In Favor Of Books Empire From the Ashes (Dahak #1-3)
4.5 stars. The Dahak trilogy, which includes Mutineers' Moon, The Armageddon Inheritance and Heirs of Empire is superb military space opera. I believe it belongs on the "must read" list of all fans of the genre. One thing I found that set this apart from typical "military" based science fiction is the development of the main characters and the focus on their relationships and how much they respect and care for each other. I especially liked the growth of the relationship between Colin McIntyre (the main character) and Dahak (the sentient spaceship he commands). Therefore, don't let the military tag turn you off if you don't typically read that sub-genre as this is high quality science fiction.

similar bits to some of his other series show up here. good action story.
Should have been a duology.First two books in the trilogy were solid 4 stars, but the third brings it down. First two books are solid sci-fi adventure, following an over-arcing plot of rediscovery and alien menace. Third book is patch on, mix of political spy-stuff and alternate universe black-powder warfare, connected by characters to the first two books but not related to the original plot. Basic premise of the black-powder plot section broke my suspension of disbelief and I never got past

Meh. Am I getting too picky? I don't know. Just felt a bit daft. Gave up.
Not sure who the narrator for the audio book was, but he was the worst one I've ever listened to. I'm sure that tainted my rating.
for those who are frequent readers of Weber's other books, you might notice a few things here. The three books comprise certain storylines that recure later on. Book 2 has lots of the large spaceship battles that were to become a trademark of later honorverse novels, while book 3 could be considered 'the first draft of the entire Safehold series, without the funny names or the useless padding of thousands of characters that exist for 5 pages and no more. but let's start with the first book.
