Loading... 1633by Eric Flint (Author), David Weber (Author)
None. Baen ebook   romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 |  The only part I had a problem with was the description Mike gave of Democracy. Democracy is NOT self correcting. Any student of history and political science can tell you that Democracy is self failing. No democracy of a large size has survived for long [think hundreds of years vs years here] The only does that do are extemely small countries. And even that is no fail safe. Take for example Athens. It was a CITY STATE and it failed. But this is science fiction and alternative history so since it is fiction, we can allow a democracy to be self correcting and survive. It isn't non fiction after all. (  ) pjh1984 | Mar 31, 2013 | As much of a brick 1633 is, I find it a lot less satisfying than its predecessor and sequels. While the climactic scene is set up well and packs an emotional punch, too much of the book is just setting up all the dominoes. Since I do like the sequels just fine, and I find Flint and Weber an agreeable pair of writers, I don't actually dislike the book, but it doesn't stand on its own well at all. (  ) JeremyPreacher | Mar 30, 2013 | review Little slower than 1632, but it builds on the cast of characters and has me eager to continue through this universe. ( ) capiam1234 | Mar 18, 2013 | I enjoyed this book almost as much as the original (1632) and enjoyed learning how the people who were villains in 1632 get a second chance to change with the times. I still don't like them, but they are put in a position where they can help an they do. It is obviously a set-up for a longer series. Which is a good thing.
