Sequel to Two-Space War

A fragile wooden Ship, complete with canvas sails, was sailing between the stars. This was patently, embarrassingly impossible, of course, but fortunately the Ship didn't know that, and neither did her crew.

Actually, it was more like two, old-fashioned three-masted sailing ships, cut off at the waterline and joined together like some bizarre 'siamese twin' of a Ship. And if you happened to be out in interstellar space as the Ship whizzed by, you couldn't actually see it, because it was in another dimension and it was going far, far faster than the speed of light. But it was there, take our word for it.

It is six hundred years in the future and mankind has learned to move between the stars . . . by going into Two-Space, the vast realm where sentient wooden ships travel beneath canvas sails in a universe that is corrosive to technology.

As they charged headlong into the galaxy, humans discovered others who were already there: The elven Sylvans who live in the vast forests of low-gravity worlds, the dwarven Dwarrowdelf who thrive deep in the mines of high-gravity worlds, and other, far more alien races. The ancient Sylvan race is enchanted by the human culture, embracing Tolkien as prophecy and taking classic human science fiction as a guide.

    While I can appreciate what the authors are trying to do here, the narrative suffers tremendously due to their lack of focus. Stopping the narrative in the middle of a gun or sword fight to write a dissertation on the OODA loop is jarring to say the least. To do it repeatedly is simply unforgivable.


    That said, if you like broken narratives that cling to the belief that modern technology has corrupted us all, then this is the book for you.

    Oh, one more thing: Deus Ex Monkina.

    Far, far, far too much preaching from the authors on guns, poetry, modern art, etc. The maxim is "show, not tell", and while this book shows, it does way too much telling.

    This novel started out decently. The first novel 'Two-Space War' was very good and I had hopes for this one as well.

    Then came the second 'Guns will make us Free!' speech, and then the third. (And I am only in the middle of reading it.) The better pro-gun part of the story is where Asquith goes from being uncomfortable with guns to enjoying shooting. If he starts spouting 'Gun-control leads to sheeple' as well I will be tempted to throw this e-book through a wall.

    The other points that I would bring up do not interrupt the flow. For instance, not enough American otaku survived to carry out to the stars bushido?
    While two-space is hostile to 'bio-robotics', what about gene modification? Even if Earth is the ONLY decadent high-tech planet (ha!), why would bio-tech in this manner be neglected?
