Book: By Schism Rent Asunder
Byhenry December 4, 2008
This is the second book in this series by David Weber. I reviewed the previous volume, Off Armageddon Reef, here. Weber continues the series with more excellent writing. I think there is nobody in science fiction who can combine exciting characters, excellent military writing, interesting politics, and a plot that keeps you reading like David…

Early in my college days I encountered a man who would have a substantial influence on my life.

Book: The Orthodox Study Bible
Byhenry November 20, 2008
