Title: Implausible and slow
Review: The plot of this book is silly -- a child is taken from his family at the age of five, trained to be the leader of the Earth's battle forces and then he saves the solar system at the age of 10. No matter how intelligent he is, no child at the age of six has had the life experiences to gain the type of judgement and wisdom that this boy supposedly has. Meanwhile, his two siblings are controlling the Earth by joining some chat rooms on the internet. Yeah, right. A second problem is that the story is unbelievable slow -- the ups and downs of his training take up about 80 percent of the book. Then the book wraps up in 10 pages and that's that. For a really good book about life in a futuristic army, read Starship Troopers. This book is a real disappointment.
