review 1: Overburdened with military jargon and aimlessness, but maybe that's the point when your protagonists are amoral mercenaries who war for its own sake. It imparts an interesting and uncomfortable pro-war atmosphere and philosophy, and it creates an eerily plausible near-future. The Profession sometimes feels like it's pandering to a military audience and sometimes feels like it's romanticizing war with a disturbing sincerity. It takes fully half the book before any semblance of a plot starts to take shape. It's a real chore to get to that point, but it ends up being mostly worth it.
review 2: A thought provoking novel of war of the future where politicians avoid public opinions by getting involved in military confrontations. In stead of war they employ mercenari... morees to fight their wars, always on the quiet, but ultimately effective. The years center around 2032 where a soldier named Gent and his group are sent to the middle east to conduct operations under the direction of his friend General Salter. Salter is a disgraced Marine Corps general, a military genius he has laid out a plan to piece meal conquer the middle east and become the most powerful man in the world. This is a book filled with the technical terms of the modern military, exciting adventures, close friendships, a great finish. If you like adventure novels you will enjoy this. less
