Through the Breach

Rating:
Summary: Best for fans of the series
Review: Pretty much the same as its predecessor, "Igniting the Reaches". Drake fans will like it, but probably not many others

Rating:
Summary: Good Adventure in Space
Review: This is the second of Drake's Piet Ricimer series based loosely on the history of Sir Frances Drake's struggle against the Spainish Navy [i.e. Ignite the Stars, Thru the Breach, and Fireships]! Placed in the future and based on Venus this is a real swashbuckling type adventure written in Drake's spare and 'less is more' style. Lot's of space travel in a sort of practical 17th century manner & eye to the realities of physics. POV is that of a down on his luck "gentleman" of the times going out to meet fate. Good young adult book. I truly enjoyed the series and have read them more than several times.
