Summary
For centuries, the world of Safehold, last redoubt of the human race, lay under the unchallenged rule of the Church of God Awaiting. The Church permitted nothing new - no new inventions, no new understandings of the world.What no one knew was that the Church was an elaborate fraud - a high-tech system established by a rebel faction of Safehold’s founders, meant to keep humanity hidden from the powerful alien race that had destroyed old Earth.Then awoke Merlyn Athrawes, cybvernetic avatar of a warrior a thousand years dead, felled in the war in which Earth was lost.
Monk, warrior, counselor to princes and kings, Merlyn has one purpose: to restart the history of the too-long-hidden human race.
And now the fight is thoroughly underway. The island empire of Charis has declared its independence from the Church, and with Merlyn’s help has vaulted forward into a new age of steam-powered efficiency. Fending off the wounded Church, Charis has drawn more and more of the countries of Safehold to the cause of independence and self-determination. But at a heavy cost in bloodshed and loss - a cost felt by nobody more keenly that Merlyn Athrawes.
The wounded Church is regrouping. Its armies and resources are vast. The fight for humanity’s future isn’t over, and won’t be over soon…

Like a Mighty Army: Safehold, Book 7
If you could sum up Like a Mighty Army in three words, what would they be?
An unfinished story yet a very good 'last' book all of which are worthy of your time.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The Avatar Picto encased character, leading Safehold into a machine based civilisation.
What does Oliver Wyman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
A well spoken and versitile voice bringing the story to life and enhances the characters.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It amused me in places and the ending infuriates as it clearly NOT an Ending
Any additional comments?
When will Safehold meet the lurking enemy,Heal the Church or defeat it. The orbital defences have to be sorted out. did any other 'preserved' Picto wearers try to block the advance of science? So many questions left unanswered. This is the only detracting part to a very well told and enjoyable story.

Fans will like this!
Is there anything you would change about this book?
One of the things that still annoys me about this series is the sickly sweet banter between main male and female characters - Cayleb and Sharleyan. It seems tacked on to help attract female readers, as a male it just turns me off.
What other book might you compare Like a Mighty Army to, and why?
This is the first Sci-Fi 'Grand Space Opera' type of series I have read so I'm not sure what compares. But I can say that I was surprised how I much I enjoyed reading a long (very long) series like this.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
The narration has been up and down in this series. Fans have learned to put up with the often pitiful attempts at accents (which have changed between volumes!). The pace was good, but the characterisation jarred in places.
If this book were a film would you go see it?
...A can just imagine how long a film that would be!
Any additional comments?
I really do think you have to be a fan to keep buying these books. It is not a casual 'picker-upper'. Furthermore you do have to start with book one and work through the series - you cannot start part way through, they are not self-contained stories.
