The Shadow of Saganami (The Saganami Island) author: David Weber rating: asin: 1416509291 binding: Mass Market Paperback list price: $7.99 USD amazon price: $7.99 USD

This is the first book in the second spin-off series in the Harrigton universe.

Despite all the eye-glazing political intrigue (which I'm not particulary fond of), there's still enough in the way of interesting interpersonal relationships and 'boots to the ground' action you've come to expect from the Harrington universe.
