How interesting! I read Crown of Slaves last year and I thought Flint and Weber were a better team than Weber on his own. Though it definitely had a different feel than books written specifically by Weber. It lost that British nautical adventure homage feeling and read more like a spy novel combined with a bildungsroman. And that would be a shame because that's one of the things I really like about the series: I am a fan of Patrick O'Brian and C.S. Forester. So I'm glad they don't do that sort of story all the time! But I thought it was an interesting subplot for the saga.
