简介：I fell in love with the stories of James Schmitz when I was a teenager, especially the characters of Telzey Amberdon and Trigger Argee. Now, many years later, I can appreciate Schmitz' going against the grain of his time and writing about strong female characters who aren't sexualized or trivialized as arm-candy. There's also Heslet Quillan, a charming rogue who appreciates competent women as well. I had read Legacy many years ago, and it's always a pleasure to revisit it. Though I do own it in paperback, I bought the Kindle edition as well. The book was translated well to the Kindle, including front and back cover graphics, but the scanning included the page numbers which interrupted the flow of the text. (I expect to see page numbers in a paper book, but they're visually separated from the text.) I have frequently given Schmitz books as gifts to younger readers - there's never anything that would be inappropriate for even a young teen, and even in Schmitz' "juvenile" books (most famously, The Witches of Karres), he never talks down to his audience and just tells a cracking-good story with intriguing characters. Highly recommended.
