There is always a romantic part of good space opera as that gives our heroes their struggle, challenge, and obstacles to overcome.This is only my second time reading the last book, but the third time I have read the whole series. This is also the first time that I have read all eight books in succession.Of the eight Helmsman books, the last book Turning Tide has always been my least favorite.

My fav Space opera is all about the interaction between characters and must have strong dialogue. There is always a romantic part of good space opera as that gives our heroes their struggle, challenge, and obstacles to overcome.This is only my second time reading the last book, but the third time I have read the whole series. This is also the first time that I have read all eight books in succession.Of the eight Helmsman books, the last book Turning Tide has always been my least favorite. My favorite book has always been the first book of this series.This last book has always felt to me very disorganized and does not flow smoothly. I believe the author did not get the last book edited as there are numerous spelling mistakes, homonym errors and words used and spelled correctly but in the wrong location.The last book has also felt as nothing more than a set up for what was supposed to be the last book in the series. With a new love interest, championed by Barbousse no less, I always wondered if Wilf and Margot ever rode off into the sunset.Despite how much I dislike the Margot character, it always appeared to me that she was ready to live her life without Brim. She married a second time, and only appears to return to Brim when she is between husbands.However, this happens in real life all the time.
People attempt to move on with their life but end up with previous partners again, at least for a little while. Because Brim was so hung up on Margot, he missed out on marrying Claudia, my favorite of all of Brim’s lovers.Brim and Margot’s life situation are nearly reversed. He is now, as Lord Graystone (homage to Tarzan maybe?) very wealthy. Margot literally has nothing and the way she talks about her last husband in the past tense, I think something must have happened to him. I never liked Margot’s second husband either, but at least he was not a big of a jerk as her first.Margot is a very damaged woman, that after book two I dislike. Her marrying Lakarn was a complete waste as he took not only Torond but also Margot’s realm to the League. So it was totally futile effort throwing her away to Lakarn, that only resulted in destroying a woman, and possibly a great love.Margot has lost everything – her royalty, her status, her mind, her child and her body was all taken from her.
I had hope that the last book(s) would see a healed Margot with some of her old flame back; perhaps fight to get Brim for herself.With her TimeWeed addiction cured, and some time to heal, I would have liked to see Margot get her nobility back, and return to some of what she was before. She admits that she is a different woman than Brim knew before, but there are still some sparks between them.I always had hoped that Brim and Margot would end up together despite everything the universe threw at them. Possibly settling somewhere raising Brim’s daughter, Hope and maybe having a few children of their own.Regrettably with the author’s death (d. RIP), I doubt there will be more books in this series that would have wrapped it up.

Using a new firm-level dataset with comprehensive information on Asian firms’ FX liabilities, we show that Asia’s nonfinancial corporate sector is vulnerable to a tightening of global financial conditions. Higher global interest rates and exchange rate depreciation increase the probability of default of Asian firms. A 30 percent currency depreciation is associated with a two-notch downgrade in the corporate credit rating (e.g., from A to BBB+), resulting in 7 percent of Asian firms falling into bankruptcy. But the impact is nonlinear—as the firms’ FX liability increases, the balance sheet channel of exchange rate offsets, then dominates, the competitiveness channel. The balance sheet channel offsets the competitiveness channel when the share of U.S. Dollar debt is between 10 and 20 percent.
We also find that currency depreciation increases firm-level investment on average, but for firms with the share of FX liabilities above 20 percent, investment contracts with depreciation. When Mike Whalen revisits his former commando training grounds at rugged, beautiful Wilsons Promontory, he's shocked by a chance meeting with the granddaughter of his glamorous old friends, Helen and Johnny.When Johnny died in the Pacific War, Mike was left with a burden of buried secrets. And as he's drawn back into the life of Helen's family, Mike finds himself overwhelmed by the past, from growing up in melting-pot Broome to tragic guerilla missions in Timor, desire in post-war Hiroshima and betrayal in the jazzy fifties.Before Mike can turn the bitter tides of memory and have any hope of happiness, he must rebuild his bonds with wartime mates, face his long-held guilt, and finally confront Helen - and himself - with the truth.From Broome to the Prom via war in the Pacific, this is a powerful saga of mateship, adventure, betrayal and passion. Turning Tide: The Ebb and Flow of Hawaiian Nationality is an indepth study of the evolution of modern Hawai'i and the background of the sovereignty movement. It is a topic which on account of the potential consequences deserves close scrutiny. Many histories of Hawai'i have been written, but few approach this theme from a global perspective.
The native view moreover has generally been downplayed and the wealth of sources written in the Hawaiian language has often been ignored. The present work attempts to right the balance and is intended as a contribution to the lively debate now taking place concerning the future of the Hawaiian islands and their multi-ethnic population in a world which has been marked by fundamental change.
