Publisher Description
David Weber's New York Times bestselling Safehold series of military Science Fiction adventure, which began with Off Armageddon Reef, continues with Midst Toil and Tribulation WAR AND FAMINE Once the Church of God Awaiting dominated all the kingdoms of Safehold. Then, after centuries of stasis, the island kingdom of Charis began to defy the edicts of Mother Church--egged on, some say, by the mysterious warrior-monk Merlin Athrawes, who enjoys the Charisian royal family's absolute trust. What vanishingly few people know is that Merlin is the cybernetic avatar of a young woman a thousand years dead, felled in the war in which aliens destroyed Earth...and that since awakening, his task has been to restart the history of the long-hidden human race. Now, reeling from the wars and intrigues that have cascaded from Charis's declaration of independence, the Republic of Siddermark slides into chaos. The Church has engineered a rebellion, and Siddermark's all-important harvest is at risk. King Cayleb and Queen Sharleyan struggle to stabilize their ally, which will mean sending troops--but, even more importantly, preventing famine. For mass starvation in Safehold's breadbasket is a threat even more ominous than civil war...

"This wasn't precisely the best way for me to start the year. At this point, I've pretty much realized that I'm going to read the rest of the series, barring some kind of serious downturn in quality. It was adequate, I suppose, but I'm not terribly excited about it."
— Matthew (4 out of 5 stars)

" I really do not like these types of books at all.. Find them so boring but wanted to give this one a try simply because of the page length.. I know dumb reason though seemed would be a good one. And it was a great read "

— Kathleen, 1/26/2014 -
" I continue to absolutely adore this series. The progress of the war in Siddarmark is fascinating and I'm enjoying the economic realities that are beginning to come into play. "
— Kevin, 12/25/2013 -
" I think Weber is stretching this a bit too long - but the writing is better than most, character development seems to have stalled a bit. "
— Michael, 12/24/2013 -
" This continues the saga of Safehold series. It is well written as is all of David Weber's books. If you are not reading and following this series, I wouldn't bother reading it at all. Not a book to keep you up all night reading. "
— Wilson, 11/19/2013 -
" Ok, getting to the point where I just want this story to end. "
— Matthew, 8/11/2013 -
" The plot continues to entertain, but the good guys are really really good and the bad guys horribly evil. It became a little tedious the whole book long. "
— Janette, 6/22/2013 -
" This one was a bit too wordy, TMI about the Siddamar war. "
— Jabriol, 6/7/2013 -
" Another great Weber book. While I wish this progressed the plot/storyline a bit more, and digressed to side skirmishes a bit less, it was nonetheless a great read, and left me chomping at the bit for the next entry! "
— Adam, 4/19/2013 -
" had a harder time reading this one, the author really got caught up with all the technical details,sometimes at the expense of the story line. even so, still enjoying the series "
— Sherry, 4/16/2013 -
" It's so hard to wait for the next book in this series. I hate catching up to the author! On the bright side, I just noticed a new book in one of his other series coming out soon. That's some consolation! :) "
— Samantha, 4/7/2013 -
" Wonderful book, can't wait for the next one! "
— Rob, 1/20/2013 -
" More of the same things that made me love the first 5 of the series. Which is a good thing and at the same time not so good thing. Perhaps an increase in pace is in order. Else by the time the war end we'd have reached book 10 "
— Danaja, 10/23/2012 -
" Another fantastic entry in David Weber's Safehold series. "
