Found this thread today and searched Baen (I buy the bundles several months ahead - and am about 40 books behind in reading) and it wasn't there. Just bought for my Nook from Barnes & Noble. Will start reading it tonight.


Br prepared for maximum delight. I thought it was GREAT!

This looked a bit familiar and a short search found, in _A Mighty Fortress_ (#4 in Weber's Safehold series), the following:

'His Highness possesses a superabundance of that quality which, in myself, I should characterize as tenacity and maintenance of aim, but which, in His Highness’ case, I can describe only as sheer bloody-minded obstinacy.'

This reminds me of how many characters named Saint-Just are in Weber's books.
