The Charisian Empire has managed to survive against seemingly impossible odds and has destroyed the armada of the Church of God Awaiting. The Church has spent centuries suppressing all technological development and now finds that its only hope of crushing the Charisian Empire is to permit the use of the technology it went to war to suppress. The Church leaders must also devise a plan to eliminate the new technology once the war is concluded.

The Safehold adventure continues in [b:A Mighty Fortress 6940561 A Mighty Fortress (Safehold, #4) David Weber https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1423806268s/6940561.jpg 7173336]. It is an interesting story and I do want to know what happens in the Safehold universe. But, IMHO this book is too long and has way too many data dumps. I am sure I would have enjoyed the story more had it been sweated down to around 60% of its published length.That said, I will continue the series.But what about the story? Well, there is a lot of politics and some action. There are various bad folks whose heads we get into – some are really evil and others who are, shall we say, differentially motivated. The good guys make some costly mistakes, but recover. Also, there are David Weber's trademark big, desperate naval battles.
