They Thought They Knew How The Universes Worked—
THEY WERE WRONG

In the almost two centuries since the discovery of the first inter-universal portal, Arcana has explored scores of other worlds . . . all of them duplicates of their own. Multiple Earths, virgin planets with a twist, because the "explorers" already know where to find all of their vast, untapped natural resources. Worlds beyond worlds, effectively infinite living space and mineral wealth.

And in all that time, they have never encountered another intelligent species. No cities, no vast empires, no civilizations and no equivalent of their own dragons, gryphons, spells, and wizards.

But all of that is about to change. It seems there is intelligent life elsewhere in the multiverse. Other human intelligent life, with terrifying new weapons and powers of the mind . . . and wizards who go by the strange title of "scientist."

"Packs enough punch to blast a starship to smithereens."
Publisher's Weekly on David Weber's "Honorverse" series

"It is impossible not to be entertained, delighted, even enthralled by this splendid piece of storytelling."
Booklist

". . . an outstanding blend of military/technical writing balanced by superb character development and an excellent degree of human drama . . . very highly recommended."—Wilsin Library Bulletin

    Trust Weber and Evans to build a universe, actually two inhabited parallel universes, that you can sink your teeth into. Enough military action and political intrigue to leave you hanging and scrambling for the sequels.

    It's interesting the comments on how this is a waste of money as it is a "dead Series". This is NOT the case as the third book is written and will be released after the first two are reissued. David and the publisher did that to refresh reader's memories after a 9 year hiatus. Linda Evans has had major health issues so she was not able to continue the series then. If you already have the first two, brush the dust off them and get ready for "Road to Hell".

    I'm not rating the book as terrible, but the decision to re-release it like this.I thought it was a nice read back in 2008 and then I bought the sequel which ended is a very poor cliff-hanger. Then nothing. No more books in the series. No indication now that there will be more books, and yet it is being pushed out the door as if it were somehow worth 15 bucks? Even if you threw in the second book with it in a combined deal you shouldn't expect to get more than 1.99 as an e-book.

    Why is a book in a series that was abandoned by the author over seven years ago, included in a current ebook bundle???? Bad form, baen. Very bad form.

    Weber is one of my favorite authors, but he must have just written the outline for this story. The writer must be Evans and she seems to be very long-winded. By the end of the story I was skipping through pages at a time to get to any action. I have decided to not read the 2nd book, at least not until I forget how bored I got.

    I have been waiting years for more books in this series and or universe. The most logical thing would be to introduce a third civilization such as our own into the mix. If someone like the Nazis had started exploring and exploiting worlds, I am not sure either of the two civilizations would be safe from being overwhelmed.

    OK, I liked it and the sequel, so where is the next one to at least finish this story arc? As well as the four that should follow!
