Reseñas de la Crítica

"The military action is brutal and vivid, the situation is tense and believable...." ( Publishers Weekly)

Fun Romp

This is a fun action story. All kinds of Sci-fi gadgets. Likeable characters. Even some of the villains are likeable. I bought the sequel.

Liked the characters

I’m not loving the narrator. The story was good enough for me to get past that.

Great Characters

I enjoyed the characters and the action. The story was well written, and moved along nicely. The nod to Hadji Murat was an awesome little easter egg.

Very good book

Great storyline. I enjoyed the story about a guy who works hard kind of like a unmasked Batman lol.

Not really very good

It's science fiction with poor science and poor fiction. Narration is mediocre at best. The main character is a sort of GI Joe, Batman, Sergeant York character that is so ingenious and so tactically superior that he manages to start a civil war AND give the real enemy a tremendous boost in their conquest plans for a planet 😳. The GOOD news is that I finished the book.
