Negative Positive
Title: Good first effort, but needs work
Review: LaManna's first novel is very good for a first time. The action and dialouge are first rate. LaManna obviously did a great amount of research on the Air Force and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations in particular. Some on the weapons that LaManna created are almost believable. However, the Trans-Altain Alliance villains are unbelievable as are some of the action scenes. This is a good book, but if you want a techno-thriller, you're hard-pressed to beat Tom Clancy's ultra-accurate research and believable plot lines. Wait until paperback - I wish I had.
