Review: This is one of David Weber's better space opera science fiction books. Like most of his books, it is heavy on military fleet tactics and "imperial" style politics. However, in this case, these themes are subservient to the more interesting story of a female retired space commando who aquires a ancient greek spirit of vengeance -- a "fury". Also, unlike most other of Weber's books, it is stand alone. I consider this a great book for someone first time reading Weber.

Review: This is the first novel I've read by David Weber, but by the time I reached page 100 I knew I would have to read everthing he has ever written. I've been a sci-fi reader for forty years and let me tell you, David Weber is really special - kind of like the James Cameron of Sci-Fi; he is a real master of the genre.I picked this book up on a Saturday afternoon intending to read for a hour or two - I put it down the next morning when I had finished it; that's all you need to know about the story. It's great!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: A True Masterpiece of Science Fiction!... Review: This is the very first David Weber book I ever read! It is still one of the very best of any book he has ever written, I also feel it is one of the true, "New Classics" in science fiction. Weber is is a Tom Clancy of science fiction and his books are worth every moment spend in reading there pages. This is a book you will not be able to put down!... Weber gives us three special "woman" in his creation of "Fury" Alicia the human "Special Forcess" type soldier who has lost everything that she holds dear. Tisiphone, a immortal creature of spirit from ancient greece, alone, a orphan in the distant future of man where her name is nothing more than a fading legend from the shadows of earth's past. Megarea a creature of logic circuits and computer code, she never-the-less is selfaware and as protector and daugher/sister to Alicia will do anything to help her gain revenge for the lose she has suffered. This is Weber space opera at its very finest! Battle tactics, character development and storyline are all handled with Weber's impecable attention to detail. My appreciation for the author's skill grows with each time I read another author. Mr. Weber handles the Techonology of his "Universe" with great skill. We always understand what he is talking about yet he never needs a encyclopedia of space and technical terms to tell us all he wants us to know. This is a book that is DEFINATELY worth reading!...
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Complusive Reading Review: When this book was recommended I had doubts, but almost from the first page I knew this was going to be one of those books you can't put down. I liked the way the characters personalitlies were introduced in portions so that you could develop an understanding of them as you would someone you met in real life. The story unfolded at a good pace, and didn't get caught up on any one aspect. While reading I thought that this book would make a great movie. A wonderful story that I have recommended to friends.
