johnridleyThe Shadow of Saganami by David Weber
Another Honorverse book (Saganami Island subseries book 2). Pretty good, enough naval battles to satisfy, and some important happenings in the new frontier "fringe" worlds - those poor backwaters that are suddenly not so backwater due to the discovery of a wormhole terminus that leads from Manticore's shipping junction to the Talbott cluster. The worlds governments ask to be annexed by Manticore (to protect them from Solarian frontier security), but during constitutional deliberations, a couple of guerrilla groups on a couple of worlds decide to fight the "imperialist" subjugation of their worlds with violence.
The reader (Darryl Brennaman) is OK. I played it at "fast" speed otherwise he's too slow for me. He mispronounces words occasionally but it's not too bad, really a pretty decent read.
