I cannot wait for him, facing ruination, to echo Kenneth Williams:- "Infamy. It is the nature of Space Opera that Malthorne will not succeed. And Drake gets a once in a lifetime Vice Admiral Thomas Lord Malthorne, the typically British wrong 'un at the heart of the "Starship Blackbeard" series, is hell bent on destroying Captain Drake. In the meantime it is all hands to the pump to protect Albion from the Hroom suicide attacks. they've all got it in for me!" But that is yet to come. Vice Admiral Thomas Lord Malthorne, the typically British wrong 'un at the heart of the "Starship Blackbeard" series, is hell bent on destroying Captain Drake. This is well worth the read – it just keeps getting better and better as more of the story unfolds around the Hroom, and the Apex. The same goes for Nyb Pim, Drakes pilot, he has a background with Drake, but we have no idea why? And the Hroom overall – there has been this long standing history and war, but there is very little detail about this either.Īgain, these are fairly minor points, it depends on how much depth you want to go into, because at the end of the day, the actual story itself is wonderfully well written, the battles are exceptionally well described, and this is what all good books should be – a lot of fun. We know that Drake has a family, but we never learn anything about them, even though they seem to be such a driving motivation for a lot of his actions. They are long time friends, but Rutherford is at different times trying to kill Drake, plotting to help him, secretly working with him, at other times working with Malthorne’s fleet, but as a double agent for Drake, but none of it is ever really explained. The actual characters are really good, but we know little about their actual back stories, such as why Malthorne has it in so desperately for Drake, the relationship between Rutherford and Drake is not really explained that well. Whilst this is a fantastic book, my only complaint would be that it does lack a little depth with some of the back story for some of the characters. Malthorne makes a great baddy in his complete drive to just destroy Drake, and cause what appears to be war. It makes for a really fascinating and fun read, the dialogue between Drake and the Pirates is very humorous. The continued portrayal of everything in the old style as very ‘Formal’ British Officers of the Royal Navy with all the cannons and weaponry, as well as the Elite nature of the aristocracy.
