I've read the entire series so far and find myself checking Amazon almost daily for the latest book in this series.  Why?  Each book has been fun to read.The first thing that comes to mind when I think of this series is "light entertainment". Yet when I thought about it some more I realised that part of what I enjoy is that serious issues are raised also . . . . about freedom and individual rights, human nature, the conflict between the inefficiency and desirability of democratic systems of government, strategies of war and why people/nations pursue war, etc.  What makes this series so special is that those serious issues do not in anyway detract from the fact that reading these books is just pure fun.  And there's always lots of action.When's the next installment?????
