Should I ask your reaction to the ominous news that Drake broke not one, not two, but five computers in the making of Some Golden Harbor? Coupled with the whole "this book is different from the rest of the series", I'm not sure whether to be dreading this or cheering it on....

Well, okay, I do trust David Drake. It's just a trust that includes being resigned to wrenching storylines every once in a while.
