Take a ride on the Dragon Ship!
Sep. 25th, 2012 01:35 pmThe book? Dragon Ship, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. Recently eleased in paper (available here http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ship-Liaden-Universe-Sharon/dp/1451637985/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348547403&sr=8-1&keywords=dragon+ship) ; and already available in electronic format from Baen ebooks.
Personally, I loved this book. I really enjoy the mixture of space opera, romance, coming-of-age, social twists, and just plain good characters mixed with action and a healthy dash of science fiction that is the trademark of the Liaden Universe (r) and Lee and Miller. This particular book, for those who may be trying to figure out where it fits, continues the story of Theo Waitley, coming directly after Ghost Ship.
( Short Form? )
So, who should buy it? Anyone who enjoys space opera with strong characters learning how to get along with each other and the worlds they encounter. Are there any warnings? Well, don't expect that the story and the characters are completely self-contained in this book -- you are probably going to want to read at least Ghost Ship, and probably others leading up to this book, and then you are going to have to wait a while to find out what happens next. There's a good, enjoyable story in this book, but... it isn't over yet.
