The Armageddon Inheritance

This appears to be the beginning of a series related to the Honor Harrington series (which I have never read). A space ship, fleeing from a foe too powerful to overcome, lands on a world which is partially in a pre-industrial age. The survivors of the ship create a religious society on top of the already existent culture, which society becomes corrupt. Another small ship arrived on the world, Safehold, with one passenger, a female warrior called Nimue. She is changed into an unbeatable android warrior appearing to be a male named Merlin. The story in this first book of the Safehold series is how Merlin begins to transform the freer part of the world in the south into a very effective industrial society and to struggle against the religious lords in the north.This is one of the best books of this type (world changing) I have read in a long time. The series continues with "By Schisms Rent asunder" with more of the same struggle and more elaboration of the Church of God, based in the north of Safehold. And soon "By Heresies Distrest" will be out, the third book in the series. It is a very engaging and interesting series, and I heartily look forward to reading it as long as Mr. Weber writes it.Linda Sheean

I thoroughly enjoyed MUTINEERS MOON but it did take me a while to get into it. The plotline was just outlandish enough to require an extra effort to get in the right frame of mind. Still, It was lots of fun. I had no such problems with the ARMAGEDDON INHERITANCE. It picks up where the first left off and now humanity must prepare for the onslaught of some nasty aliens making their way across the galaxy. The problem is that early 21st century Earth technology is probably not up to the task at hand.They do have an ace in the hole. Dahak, the self aware ship posing as Earth's moon is a formidable weapon. It is also part of a 50,000 year old fleet designed to face just this menace. All that is needed is for earth to hold out while the ship and its crew go looking for help from the rest of the fleet. That proves a bit more difficult than one would suppose.It's a fine story. Nothing meaty, just entertainment

This is typical great Weber! I truly wish he would pick this back up and resolve the Acchultani issue.

book was like all the david weber armageddon series and was very interesting to read. it had many facts that were incorporated to make it interesting that might have happen if this occurred.

Excellent! Product exactly as described, very fast shipping, a pleasure to do business with.Thanks.Bob

David Weber is amazing, first read the Honor Harrington series, now this. Can't put any of his books down, I want this series to continue, I'll be 1st in line to purchase.....

captain to emperor -- nice jump -- all he has to do is walk the tightrope over the abyss while carrying big bulls eye on back

Weber has been better. The first book in the series was infinitely more enjoyable. While it does echo the old super-battle Skylarks of the 50 there are good reasons why we don't read them any more.

An excellent sequel to mutineers moon! Really takes the idea of the first book and builds well upon it. Colin is the true hero once again, this time he takes dahak home! And what a home it is......, just enjoy the story as much as I have!Overall a great read, let down, in places with needless earthbound politics.

a great follow on the Mutineers Moon. recommended read.
