Review: Space opera in the Weber/Ringo vein
Rating: 5 out of 5

I've read all three installments.  Can't wait for the fourth (and fifth, sixth...etc).  The technology, and the constraints therein, are both consistent and exhaustive.  The "supersystem" looks interesting, and it appears the author has explored it in other works, though I don't know if it's in the same universe as the empire series.  The series so far has many threads being wound together.  I hope, as they work themselves out, that we get to know some of the characters better (if he lets them live long enough, he's constantly getting them killed!), especially the new heir to the empire, and some of his admirals and captains.  My one suggestion: put down the cats and write faster!
