I thought this book was boring. I have read every David Weber book and usually he rewards you with some action. This book, however, was really, really boring and the action that was there did not justify the read.
I know that building a universe to place stories in must be hard and time consuming, but a writer should not get so caught up in it that he loses the reader to boredom.

My problem wasn't the details becoming boring, it was collaboration problems. I didn't need to keep being told the main character was a stickler for the rules. Every other page it's being pounded in. Okay, I get it. Move on with the story.
Not one of Weber's best. As a rule I hate collaborations. I also noticed that his characters were constantly "snorting" in response to some dialog etc. Perhaps a tad more variety in the character responses would help to break up the monotony.
