I read "Insurrection" recently. It was definitely NOT up to speed
compared to the Honor Harronton books, nor to "Path of the Fury" (which
I highly recommend). The dialogue and political intrigue came accross a
little fuzzy. The combat scenes were even a little less interesting.
I've played Starfire since 1979, and I did not get as good a look into
that universe as I wanted from my first Starfire novel. I reread all of
the Honor Harrington series, once was enough for "Insurrection."
