I am amazed at the depth and vastness of this epic novel of science fiction by Author, Kodai Okuda. 'The Stygian Conspiracy' is I would have to say science fiction adventure and intrigue at its very best. I think they call this Space Opera on a massive and highly entertaining scale. I was very pleased and impressed by the technical and military knowledge of the author. Especially the awesome battle scenes and the way that the military confrontations in space as well as on terra firma are described. I was in the military for 25 years and a Colonel of an infantry line regiment but I was astounded at the visceral realism of the battle sequences involving the Earth Federal Space Marines and the backroom political scheming and intrigue that makes this enthralling novel so gripping and impossible to put down. The Character development by the author is truly first class and the story arcs as well as the character arcs are the best that I have ever seen in depth and development as you really feel for the protagonists, Kabuto Tokugawa and Gideon Krieg who joined the Space Marines. I highly recommend this accomplished work of Sci-Fi Art. Great Buy.
