Title: Good start to a series?
Review: This book starts out a bit too long, and jumps around a bit too much for me. By the end of the book, there are several loose ends left dangling (what happens to the Navy, Sharon, and her kids?), and while he doesn't say so, I get the impression that this is the first in a series.The reason I say that is that the book doesn't end by wrapping up all the loose ends, and the ending is the aftermath of a major battle, not a campaign, and certainly not the war. He entices us with the behind-the-scenes tidbits, but doesn't expand or resolve them.The first 80% of the book is prep work, introducing the characters and situations, with the planetary assault and battle being the last part.All in all, a good start, and the recommendation by David Weber helped to sell me (I'm waiting for the next Harrington book!). A light, relaxing beach read.
