East of the Sun and West of the Moon by John Ringo, 307 pages
East of the Sun and West of the Moon is the most current book in the Council Wars series. Sadly it will be the last one for awhile as Ringo had said that all work on this series is on hold for the next half a dozen years. Its a shame to see a series that is as well done as this be discontinued. It was interesting to see a society that had had it all fall so low and attempt to achieve something better. Through these books came the fall of an advanced civilization back to the middle ages. We got to see them build a society and ships and expand until finally they made it into space. Through this all there were great characters and a storyline that makes putting down the books near impossible.
It is a great series and I do hope that Ringo does return to it eventually.
PS The title describes the location of a thing in the book and might be the most unhelpful directions ever given, besides saying over there somewhere.
