Star of the sea book review This is the fifth in the series of Grimes Rim Worlds stories that Baen is putting together As much as I like these stories it would probably be best to start with the earlier stories first Meanwhile I believe a sixth volume is still coming Upon a Sea of Stars John Grimes Saga This book Upon A Sea Of Stars is the fifth omnibus in a series of books about John Grimes by A Bertram Chandler I have read many of the novels and short stories about John Grimes but many are hard to find and long out of print With these collections I will finally be able to read them all Each story is very entertaining and shows how Grimes develops in his career in the Federation Survey Service the space fleet of the Federation then as a Captain owner of his own independent ship a tramp trader Finally the series will cover his career in the Rim Worlds This is classic Space Opera and very entertaining It is not for children however I would rate it as PG 13 A must read for fans of Grimes and A Bertram Chandler Upon a Sea of Stars John Grimes Saga
