Have to go back and retry; a friend is deep into it, and says my
recollection of mostly groppo action is wrong.

As for Odyssey One, no fears, I'M no rocket scientist...

I'm sure I've read some Douglas, but not sure about that series; you've
actually talked me into looking up the Drake stuff. ;->=

'Lady Megan' saves the day, but, in both stories, as sole survivor,
knows the credit undeserved. Everyone in the navy knows her peerage is a
sop to the 'colonials'. Selfdoubt-R-Us US.

Yesterday's Children, in the original, even more so. Rather The Caine
Mutiny or The Bedford Incident in space.

Really? No one else thinks Weber's or Bujold's feel a bit like RN in
18-19c?

By the way, if anyone feels this has gone on TOO long, please do pop up
and say so. If not, I should like nominations for the best FT book not
called FT...
