Off Armageddon Reef

Off Armageddon Reef (2007) by David Weber

The last remnants of humanity flee to a distant planet to hide from the aliens that destroyed Earth.

This is a very strange novel that goes from futuristic space battles to the age of musket and pike.

The story spans several centuries, but most of the action takes place in just a few short months.

Tends toward preachy and shamelessly manipulative.

The book ends with many plot elements unresolved, and thus the author sets the stage for many sequels.
