Last Orders by Harry Turtledove, 401 pages
Last Orders is the sixth and final book of The War that Came Early series. Even though this is hailed as the last book in the series or the conclusion it leaves a lot of story lines and two of the four wars hanging. The only thing that really concludes in the European war.
While I have stated how much I have enjoyed this series before, I found that this book seemed to drag along more than the rest. Yes the war is wrapping up, and yes there spurts of action because of it, but there is also pages and pages of political discussions and conversations that add nothing to the plot or book.
