Brian's Reviews > 1637: No Peace Beyond the Line (29)

I liked the attempts at character development in some of the traditionally supporting cast. The "bad guys" got a chance to be clever and innovative. (Not, of course, innovative enough to win. But still.) There were the usual collection of battles, which generally were kept interesting by not being excessively stretched out.

Although this was a reasonably thick book, the fact that there are now several story threads going on in the Caribbean means that at the end of the book I felt like not as much got resolved as I would have liked. If only Flint and Gannon could focus on this story line for a bit longer and churn out a couple more books it would really be satisfying. (Particularly since we're left with our primary protagonist in the region setting out on a new adventure in the last couple of pages.) Unfortunately, I suspect I won't see a sequel from either of these authors for some time.

Anyway, if you're a fan of the series, I think you'll like this book.
