What's up with this series? It just stopped being written. It has been two years sense the last book was written.

This was a fun series up until this point. But now I think I'm done. I didn't need the deepest or most complex characters when the adventures were light hearted and fun. I could put up with the juvenile dialogue and somewhat predictable adventures--this was easy reading about privateers in space! But then they started to build a corporation, hmmm ok. And they still didn't grow or evolve. Then they started to build a colony. And they still didn't grow or evolve. And then *this happens* I don't want to spoil any surprises but it feels like the author took a completely different idea for a story and decided screw it. I'm just going to jam it into this other series I had going since things were getting a little predictable and I already had an audience baked in.

This completely new direction is just plain weird. From how it starts to how it escalates to how ends to even the main conceit. It just defies logic. The writing is technically good. The characters need to do some real growing up, complete with better dialogue and this new angle should have been a little easier to swallow. There is no way a secret this big could be kept. Just based on the number of people involved. I don't care how cut throat the company is. Are anonymous emails not a thing in the future?

Ugghhh. For me at least this series has run its course. With enough positive reviews I might give the next one a try, but it will be an uphill battle.

I hate it when a good character gets boring, and that's what has happened to poor Detective Inspector Carol Ashton. I think this series either needs to retire or be reborn.  Actually it could have stopped several books before.  What happened to Carol?  She use to be intriguing, multidementional, not to mention sexy. Now we the typical Niad 200 page, spit out another of a series of watered down (maybe edited out), over priced piece of junk.  My hope is when number 14 shows up I have enough sense to hold on the my money.

It answered a lot of questions, but the series is running so long that I am losing interest. New twists in this edition could open the door for 25 more books. Yuck! Time to close off this story!

I get it, it's a series, but it would be nice if it had an ending. Seems like a desperate attempt to make you buy the next one. Meh.

I don't get why this product exists

Mostly harmless ended the series on a rather final note, I felt

I didn't have a problem with them changing the ending for the radio adaption of that, but I really don't see the point of them continuing the series

I mean, I'm assuming the writer is a fan, not just doing it for the money.

But I just don't see the point of continuing the series without Douglas writing it. I just fail to see the point

It really isn't NECESSARY!!

Pick up Life the Universe and Douglas Adams instead, if you can find it on video. You really don't need to buy this item. These aren't the druids you're looking for

POINTLESS POINTLESS POINTLESS!!

This series is off the chain. I'm about to read part 3 now.

I began reading this series a few months ago and have enjoyed it.

I don't understand this book... was it meant to be a novel or a collection of short stories?  It was just ALL over the place.

I hope the next book gets back on track.

It ended so abruptly...I didn't expect that.  I feel like I've just been left hanging!!  What happened to these people?

Well the end of the anime series wasn't what I thought it would be. Nothing was really resolved just a bunch more episodes that would have been. Maybe Takahashi-san got tired of it. But I wish there was more. But It was good I guess.

I really enjoyed the first 5 books of this series. But in book 6 they totally went off track. The first 5 were straightforward PI mysteries. They were suspenseful and action packed. Books 6 - 8 were action packed, but they lost me when they started dealing with an Antichrist, prophecies, far fetched politics, etc. If they would have stuck with the premise of one story per book, they would have been great. When they carried a story over for 3 books, and couldn't stop the bad guy until the very end, it just got ridiculous.

Because they just suddenly stop with no ending. I hope I didn't pay for this. Have I reached 12 words?

It just stopped.  It was good and then it stopped like it wasn't a full version.  Disappointing... I will read her full books and see if they are more fulfilling.  Nice voice

I've enjoyed this series, as well as the 44 Scotland Street series, but this one didn't deliver.  Having read it just a few weeks ago, I can only recall one story line - the new developments in Isabel's relationship with Jamie.  (The other plots were apparently not even interesting enough to merit any MBs of long-term storage in my brain.)  The story with Jamie seems oddly disembodied. (SPOILER AHEAD) The friends become lovers, but Jamie is so offhand, so non-committal in the scenes we see, he's barely a character.  Is he happy about the relationship? Just going along?  It seems as if Isabel's fantasy remains a fantasy, even when it comes to fruition.  I'm not the least bit bothered by the May/December aspect of the relationship, but Jamie is so weirdly silenced in this book that it feels a little like child abuse. Didn't work.

It just wasn't very good! The series started so well, and I felt like the last one wasn't edited well and lost track of the need to have world-building rules/constraints.

I once loved this series, but for years they have become so poor in so many ways. It's as if names and clues are being pulled out of a hat for the purpose of getting another book out. Just end it, it's not worth the paper they are printed on, how sad.

Disappointing.  I have so enjoyed this series from the first book.  This one seemed to run out of purpose towards the end.  The ending was rushed and just seemed to stop.  And why doesn't someone force Natasha to see daylight.  Why does everyone cater to her selfishness and total self-centered focus. Makes one want to slap some sense into her.  Makes me want to shake the other characters.

Krista Davis seems to be putting all her intellectual energy into the other series - which by the way I am enjoying thoroughly!
