Yeah, I'm four chapter ruling this one. I have a rule that if a book can't interest me within four chapters, there's plenty of others out there that can, and I shouldn't waste my time with one that can't. I can usually sit down and enjoy the most terrible of Military Sci-fi, but this one just isn't doing it for me. Most of all, it's just really, really boring, and all of the characters are just so bland and lacking anything resembling personality. And there's so much made up military jargon, and acronyms that the author either doesn't explain at all, or spends way to much time explaining. Here's an idea, save yourself the need to explain, as well as saving the reader the head-scratching over trying to figure it out, and work the jargon into the story in such away that the meaning is apparent. There are literally PARAGRAPHS of this book that are made up of nothing but nonsense words and acronyms that are not explained until pages later. You want to take me out of the story, entire paragraphs of meaningless gibberish is a pretty good way right there.If you're looking for some good military sci-fi and Amazon keeps pushing this one on you like it's the freaking holy grail, don't give in to temptation, and skip it. If you like well written sci-fi with strong characters, pick up Terms of Enlistment by Marko Kloos instead, I've recommended that one to quite a few people, and not had a complaint yet.

Good military sci-fi. A bit BV Larson in its snappy fast resolution to obstacles, but enjoyable.
Pure space adventure and a compelling read.
