A review by laurla
Ashes of Victory by David Weber
672 pages. and a painfully slow read because he puts SO much detail into the spaceships and their battles. but i really enjoy the story so i keep reading the series.
"nuts didnt need religion to make them nuts. but it did seem to give them a certain added sense of commitment to whatever goals their nutdom decided to embrace."
"thats the reason so many of them think of you as heroic. not because they expect you to be so stupid or so arrogant that you think you're invulnerable or because fear never enters your thoughts. but because you've demonstrated that you know youre not invulnerable. and they're smart enough to realize you are scared... and you do your job anyway."
"he really had no choice but to yet again examine the backsides of the lion's teeth by poking his head down its throat."
