Hi RoseandHeather,
Tom Caparelli is one of my favorites!
One of the best part of the series has been the change in the relationship between Tom and Hamish, from tSVW to AAC and beyond.
The AoV passage of Tom deciding where and when to start the final war-winning campaign, of how Pat Givens has changed her mind to seeing how and why he was a better choice than Hamish for First Lord, but the best is the description of his leaving "the pit" carrying the full weight of the war on his broad and unbowed shoulders.
Not that I expected Hamish to have been chosen, but I think he would have hated missing all the action, and possibly been less attentive to his duties than Tom.
Once OB has been put behind them, and the SL defeated, I almost wish Tome gets a fleet command to show his stuff, but I know that's not going to happen.
