NOT WORTH CONSUMING
I’d say HMD reads like a bad pastiche of Patrick O’Brien and Anne McCaffrey but that would be understaing the case. Rather it reads like what might result if you ran Master and Commander and Dragonflight through a random Markov transformation. Painfully familiar, and yet not comfortingly so.

Delightful phrasing. ;D
I’m about twenty pages in, and as I’ve been leery of the danger of O’Brian/McCaffrey rip-off since I read the premise of the book, I’ve been wondering how much of my suspicions I’m projecting where I shouldn’t … but from your comment, I suppose the rest of it is like this? Guess I’ll have to read and find out!
