Product Description

Review

"A superb cast of characters and plenty of action... This fine book gives new luster to Weber's reputation." - BOOKLIST, STARRED REVIEW ON BY SCHISM RENT ASUNDER "Along with its predecessor, this second installment of an important SF saga belongs in all libraries. Highly recommended." Library Journal, starred review"


Product Description

The world has changed. The mercantile kingdom of Charis has prevailed over the alliance designed to exterminate it. Armed with better sailing vessels, better guns and better devices of all sorts, Charis faced the combined navies of the rest of the world at Darcos Sound and Armageddon Reef, and broke them. Despite the implacable hostility of the Church of God Awaiting, Charis still stands, still free, still tolerant, still an island of innovation in a world in which the Church has worked for centuries to keep humanity locked at a medieval level of existence. But the powerful men who run the Church aren't going to take their defeat lying down. Charis may control the world's seas, but it barely has an army worthy of the name. And as King Cayleb knows, far too much of the kingdom's recent good fortune is due to the secret manipulations of the being that calls himself Merlin-a being that, the world must not find out too soon, is more than human. A being on whose shoulders rests the last chance for humanity's freedom. Now, as Charis and its archbishop make the rift with Mother Church explicit, the storm gathers. Schism has come to the world of Safehold. Nothing will ever be the same.

2.0 out of 5 stars Typical Weber overwriting., Sep 11 2009
By Moe Sasseville "Moester" (Montreal, QC, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I used to be a great fan of Weber, he had very interesting characters with strong writing and punchy action sequences. Unfortunately in the last few years as his fame grew it seems that he isn't getting edited anymore. This book needs to shift 100 pages away from political machination and description to 100 pages of story. At some points I felt like I was reading a transcript from an otherworldly C-SPAN. It was a slow ponderous book which spent most of its time setting up the next one. Too much fat, not enough protein.

4.0 out of 5 stars By Schism Rent Asunder, Jun 14 2009

Just as good of a military science fiction novel as the pre-quil Off Armageddon Reef.

1.0 out of 5 stars schism of an Interlude, Jan 29 2009
By softwater (alberta, canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: By Schism Rent Asunder (Hardcover)
I was looking forward very much to this book. I like the diversity of politics, personal , battle and economic stories. What I would have liked is a little my diversity of characters, depth of said characters, and a break in the monotone of the story teller. Not good enough weber, you can do better.
P.S.
With the death of Baen I have noticed a marked decrease in the level of writing of sci-fi. Didn't know editors were so important for an author (some more then others) but now I do.
