Overcaptain by L.E. Modesitt Jr.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Completely enjoyable competence porn, military-magic-style. It's continuing book 23's main character, following the duology-style that Modesitt employs so often.

Frankly, I get it. It's comfortable, fully expected in almost all ways, and yet, with all these new situations and characters, the slow discovery of the world around them, and how they rise to the challenge--is just GOOD.

I can read this kind of thing forever as long as I can trust the author, and I can absolutely trust this one. It's good to feel trust. It's even better to be well rewarded. (Unlike our poor Overcaptain, lol.)

Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
