Fire on High by Peter David (1998) – BR00001 (2001) – 🐸🐸🐸⚪⚪

The PolyBlog
January 20 2001

Plot or Premise

This is the sixth book about the U.S.S. Excalibur. This one sheers away from Captain Calhoun and Shelby, and focuses instead on Lefler and the return of her mother. In addition, there are extensive interactions between Selar, Burgoyne, and McHenry, trying to flesh out their characters.

What I Liked

The story is interesting, you get to meet another race, and Soleta has some amazing lines.

What I Didn’t Like

The Lefler storyline could have been far more detailed than it was, or gone into more depth for the relationship with her mother. However, a lot of the book seems to be simply tying up loose ends from previous stories and laying down markers for future ones.

The Bottom Line

Cute ending but not one of the best in the series.

    February wasn’t as productive as I had hoped, at least not for my “bookclub reading”. I had 28 from book clubs below as potential reads, but my Christmas present hangover reads occupied most of my attention, plus some non-reading projects. Oh, and life itself, I guess. I read This Book Made Me Think of You … Continue reading →

    I feel like this project today is worthy of two letters. Overall, I want to be better organized, and some of that is computer-ish, with better use of OneNote; one part is paper-ish, for financial records and old school and work stuff I want to whittle down; and then there is just decluttering. I have … Continue reading →

    Plot or Premise Peter and Harry try to figure out how to fight crime as a team. What I Liked I’m not a giant comics reader, but I’m enjoying the Ultimate series.
