review 1: I am not sure that I am going to ever trust blind recommendations from Amazon again. I was looking for a new series to take with me while traveling and the description looked promising. I was disappointed, especially for a series that has three books already. It is not a bad book, but its not a very good one either. The author is skilled at keeping the action moving but lacks high end writing skill. This small press book is poorly edited, especially in the last third of the book and some author coaching from a good editor could have helped with some things. I had to dial the combat realism filter down to about zero and not think too hard about science and economics. But, the read met the price of admission since its in a genre I enjoy. Don't look at it too hard th... moreough.
review 2: I liked this book. I don't know if it has been re-edited from when most of the other reviews were written but I didn't find the large numbers of typos that I was expecting. There were a few, to be sure, but not all that many. Over all, I thought the story was well written. The pacing was good. My one major complaint was the way the characters interacted. The Officer/Enlisted interaction was WAY too informal, especially for the Corps. Maybe it's because I'm a veteran and have a certain familiarity with the military culture/mindset but I kept thinking Mr. Thomas needs to do a little more research or find someone to proof read his stories who can identify the worst offenses against military protocol. I also liked that the technology wasn't too 'futuristic'. No anti-gravity, FTL travel or comms, killer lasers, etc.. A good solid entry in the genre. I will give the next one a try and see how it goes. less
