A Mighty Fortress - Book Review
A Mighty Fortress, by David Weber, is the 4th book in the SafeHold series.
The SafeHold series is about humanity's last world, which was kept in a primitive state with a custom made religion so that aliens could not find their signals.
In a way that really resembles the Honor Harrington, the nice nation (the Charisian Empire) is getting attacked unfairly by the bad guys (the Church), who now declared Holy War. Also, research is the only thing keeping the good guys alive as the stakes keep increasing. And there are very careful description of the battles. Just on the sea.
Even if it is much like the Honor Harrington series (except that instead of being in space, there are sea battles), it is quite enjoyable. As most Weber books, there is quite a bit of dialog between the battles, which builds the book well even if it really slows down the action.
Overall, recommended to fans of the series.
