    When I read The Dark Wing I thought it was a 4 stars book but thought it was a bit too mystical for me. I also thought you needed a glossary to keep track of all the alien mystic terms. By the time we get to The Dark Ascent, that glossary need to be an interactive dictionary run off a cray supercomputer. While some mysticism is certainly part of the storyline, this much is like The Dark Destroyer come to annihilate the storyline. I tried reading the health care bill and it was a very similar read. Since I purchased all 4 books in the series at the same time I will read the fourth one, but this is a really good storyline line which is well told but has been made into agony trying to keep track of the very many mystical heroes and terminology. Very disappointing.

    I'm so glad to see this series here on baen, I read them a few years ago and loved every one of them. I hope Mr. Hunt will follow up the story with a few new books. His web site says that his publisher did not want to continue the story. With exposure on this site he might be able to start it back up.
