It's Not Over Til The Skinny Lady Sings . . .
Working off of a piece of intelligence from the alien Hexosehr, the Vorpal Blade is dispatched to investigate rumors of an ancient and powerful civilization that may have been the creators of the “black box” that drives humanity's only space ship. Any remnant technology would be nice but what the Blade finds is much more than they bargained for. Worse, the ship is infested by an alien species of scorpion-like arachnoids that has the potential to wipe out a world. Worst of all, instead of being Astrogator, Captain William Weaver is now the XO and he is not getting along with the new commander. And the new commander does not get along with Weaver, the ship's female savant-linguist or most of the rest of the original crew. And what is that weird noise the ship makes every time it's in hard maneuvers?
Leave it to the oddball geniuses of the Blade to sort it all out. And the Dreen are not going to like the answers.
Excellent, as always

Well, Ringo and Taylor have done it again. This one's less on space travel itself, and has quite a good plot to it. I enjoyed it even though it gave a different feel to the space battles of the last couple of books. Waiting for the next one!

Sequel?
This series is the driving force behind my interest in physics. I'm seriously contemplating a doctorate in physics (alongside my masters in Electrical Engineering) as the result of this series. My only complaint is that this series has endless potential, and it has been years since the last installation came out!! I NEED another book, I can't help it, I must know more! Please, please, please, tell me that a fifth book is on the drawing board....
