Review: Not bad; some disjointed storyline
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is a decent military science fiction novel.  The basic theme is that the USA has established interstellar colonies and has degenerated into an oppressive colonial power.  Essentially it is as thought the IRS controlled the entire government, military, and foreign policy.  The colonies are rebelling.  The US has established the "US Foreign Legion" as an expendable, ruthless front-line military force.  Therein lies the story.The main problem with this novel is that the storyline becomes disjointed and hard to follow in about the second half of the novel.  Further, one has difficulties in deciding who to root for, since the rebels, who are on the opposite side from our protagonists, really do seem to be the good guys.A better editor for the next installment here will hopefully keep the storyline more linear and on-track.  Not a bad first installment.  RJB.
