I met Doug Dandridge over this past weekend at DragonCon in Atlanta.  He was behind me in line waiting for a panel of SF writers.  Coincidentally, I was then almost finished reading this the third book in his Exodus: Empires at War series. Someone needs to give this man a publishing contract.  I think Toni Weisskopf and Baen Books would be a perfect fit for this sharp new writer.  The stories do need to proceed apace a little more quickly, but I greatly enjoyed them.  The comparative tech levels and the overcoming of humanity's disadvantage in this area makes for a fascinating plot point.  His characters are excellent and Mr. Dandridge's willingness to hazard their lives --as they would be in war-- is refreshing.  He isn't George R.R. Marting --Thank God!-- but some characters I expected to make it did not and that made this war novel more realistic.  I am excitedly awaiting the next installment!
