Review title: I'd give this zero but it's not an option
Product review: Eric Nylund knows zilch about writing combat. This some of the worst amateur drivel I've ever had the misfortune to come across.It must have been a struggle to write something so flat and uncharasmatic as this. The action reads like it was written for members of the Oprah Book Club or as an after school special.It's not good scifi. It's not good action. It's not emotionally mature or challenging in any way.What is most surprising is Nylund's other books "Signal to Noise" etc. are pretty good. This on the other hand is a car accident with no survivors. There are dozens of fantastic authors writing military scifi. Nylund is not one of them.Want good miltiary scifi? Try John G Hemry's Stark series, Ian Douglas's "Semper Luna" trilogy, Steve Perry's "Matador" series, Walter Jon Williams "Metropolitan" series, David Weber "Honor Harrington" series, Joe Haldeman's "Forever Peace" and "Forever War".
