review 1: Honestly I was a bit disappointed with this book. I thought I would be getting a decent sci-fi/military action book. However, this book is quite literally written from the perspective of a military grunt who does not know really anything about the enemy he is fighting or even what humanity's alien benefactors look like. Very little explanations in the advancements in technology or the political environment of the future. Definitely not worth buying the hardcover, more of a library read or paperback.
review 2: Aliens have arrived - one group has ginned up the world's technology and manufacturing base to fight another group following along. The warfront is Mars - Skyrines (Marines) are flung into space to fight the Antagonists and seize control. There are some ... moresettlers from earth there, too, and all sorts of SNAFU to keep it real. Like all to often, the Skyrines we get to know are set up to fail because of the big secret of the novel. All three groups want to be sure they don't make it back off Mars. The plot isn't that bad, but like a lot of military sci-fi the characters are pretty thin and the twists telegraphed a lot. A weak "3" rating, but entertaining enough for what it is. less
