    Hi Guys

    I was just wondering if anybody else had read the Serrano books?

    I read the first 3 (The Serrano Legacy) and they were excellent, in fact, I keep going back to them! The next books in the series (The Serrano Connection) were also great but when I got to the last few boooks, it was a real let down!

    To me, it was as if Moon had got bored and rushed the ending, there were a lot of loose ends and things that seemed to make no sense to the overall story

    Is is just me or did anybody else find this too?

    I have only read teh first or possible first two books about Serrano and I was not overly impressed. Felt like a soapopera in space. Not my cup of tea. :(

    I read the first book. Perfectly serviceable Horatio Hornblower in Spaaaaaaace stuff, but I've read significantly better versions of the basic theme (David Drake's Lt Leary, David Feintuch's Midshipman's...)
