Title: Third-rate drek
Review: I tried my best to read this book but I had to give up. To enjoy a novel, I have to be able to like the protagonist and more or less enjoy reading about his or her adventures. In this case, I grew to quickly dislike McCade because I found him to be irritatingly stupid, and because he was so stupid his adventures weren't interesting or entertaining. Added to that was my feeling that the world Dietz created for McCade was pretty unimaginative, at least compared to the authors I've really enjoyed -- David Weber, Jack Campbell, Ian Douglas/William Keith, Catherine Asaro, et al.So my advice is to not waste your time on this -- it's not hard to find something better.
