Short Review: This is an advance reader copy, the official book is not out until October. I was a big fan of Weber's last book and I loved this one. It is more episodic and essay oriented and not as specifically oriented around a time period. The book opens and closes with discussion of the birth of her children (which as a expectant father I really identified with.)
