Honor Harrington is a better read overall and it's basically the same story. Honor is smarter than everyone (like Jeanetta). She's a better strategist than everyone (Like Jeanetta). She has a cat that is telepathic (like Jeanetta's cats) and she herself is becoming more and more telepathic (like Jeanetta). She is an honored citizen (steadholder) of another planet and has a higher standing in it's military than in her own (Like Jeanetta). I gave this two stars because it's a carbon copy of the Honor Harrington series. I may continue reading but I won't enjoy it. There was no book, I suspect we endured a book sized intro for a couple of new characters. Saying that, it wasn't horrible ... just didn't do anything, there was nothing you could point to and say, this is the reason for the books existence. As usual it was a pleasant light read, just what you need after a Steven Erikson novel. There are numerous things the author gets up to that will annoy any sentient being, so I remind myself the book is for girl guides, or what you being a parent would be comfortable with your girl guide child reading. In a hard sci-fi book the clones would have been quarantined, who knows what the aliens could have added. The military things are below par, not an issue, it fits with the style of writing, many more … But there is one big bugbear, without giving away spoilers … the main character blabs military secrets like a crazy cat lady. One of which in any military would have led to a court martial or been a career ending move. Janette has clearly never heard that loose lips sink ships.
What do You think about The Clones Of Mawcett (2000)?
It was really good, but some parts seemed to be a bit near Honor Harrington...
