Title: A "Military Classic"? I wonder...
Review: This book reminded me of a high school writing assignment. Great beginning, bad middle, worse ending. I haven't yet decided if its an homage to Starship Troopers, or a blatant rip-off. The beginning of the book, which details the intial combat drop and Felix's (the main character) attempt to survive, are the best parts of the entire read. The action sequences are fast paced and believeable, and the psychological changes in Felix are frightenly real.The middle/end has parts in it that are so boring, its an act of self-discipline to finish them. Several times I had to force myself to continue reading, hoping in vain that something would happen. Unfortunately, nothing ever did. If this book is a "classic", its a classic in disappointment only.
