Less militarily, politically more

Weber is moving further away from the narrative of military conflicts, where almost every single screw has been described a rocket at the beginning of the series, it remains here to the imagination of the reader's left, what happened between the first shot and the end of the battle. The political context and decisions are far more prominent, the knowing reader comes as compared the development in the classic Battletech novels to mind - before Wizkids.
Even away from Weber his protagonist Honor Harrington, shows up because of your military and political rise, now more on the edge of the current act, rather than to determine as before.
Total is to be hoped that Weber manages to establish a new story about the upcoming novels, rather than recycling the dispute between Manticore and Haven, now on a bigger stage.
