review 2: I realized recently that I often open my reviews with, "Well...". This usually indicates I'd like you (and me to for that matter) to pause and reflect a moment.This is obviously a military science fiction read. It's based on a computer/video game (which I've never played by the way). It has it's flaws but on the ... morewhole I think it deserves a 4 star rating....maybe not the highest 4 star rating, but a 4 star rating.First unless you've played the game I doubt that the fact this is based on a game system and a story from a game will jump out at you. It tells a pretty good action yarn about some well set up characters. We are looking at a story told from two perspectives, one in the past the other in the present. There was no problem with the back and forth the transitions were crisp and the stories were complimentary. I found my interest waning at times which isn't good.You really don't want to be yawning in a novel that revolves around violence, mayhem, blood, gore and WAR. Still it didn't happen often and the problem with that seemed to ease up as the book went on (so either the story got more coherent or I got more interested). We primarily follow 3 young men in one "wing" of the story and their relationship plays a big part in what's going on as we also look at other "Gears" and at the world/universe that is functioning here.I think I'll probably follow this up and i can recommend it if you're looking for action, military, sci/fi military or whatever. It's well done and the game tie-in doesn't cause a problem.Enjoy. less
