#9 Torch of Freedom by David Weber and Eric Flint

This took me a while to get through, I felt like that at any point the story was picking up steam the POV switched to a different set of characters.  I think I may wait for a few books to come out in the series and read them back to back so the series seems fresher. I do know people that read them over and over but I really don't want to devote the time to it.
