Praise for David Weber's Safehold Series

“The personalities and motivations of the numerous characters are particularly well drawn and credible, and Weber makes grand strategies and political machinations easily accessible to casual readers.”

“Effortlessly exceeds the magnificence of its predecessor . . . I cannot emphasize how much I want to read the next chapter in the Safehold saga.”

Fantasy Book Critic
on
By Schism Rent Asunder

“A brilliant new saga. Though his story encompasses meaty issues, such as the separation of church and state and the importance of a shared mythology, its focus remains on the people who embody the strengths and weaknesses of a flawed but ever hopeful humanity. Highly recommended.”

By Schism Rent Asunder

“Gripping . . . Shifting effortlessly between battles among warp-speed starships and among oar-powered galleys, Weber brings the political maneuvering, past and future technologies, and vigorous protagonists together for a cohesive, engrossing whole.”

Off Armageddon Reef

“Vast, complex, intricate, subtle, and unlaydownable. This looks like the start of the biggest thing in science fiction since Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.”

—Dave Duncan on
Off Armageddon Reef

“Fantastic in every sense of the word— the kind of book that makes you sit back and think about this reality that we call life. Who can ask for more than that?”
