The prequel of this book - "New Dawn" wasn't too bad, so I bought "Fool's Gold" with some hope for an entertaining time killer. I was very disappointed. After dragging myself through unending sequence of absolutely unbelievable episodes I gave up and put the book aside.SPOILER ALERTJust one example among many. How much time would you give a single survivor of past battles to recreate a whole military as he knew it, with rank structure, traditions and specific modus operandi from a bunch of civilians? Imagine resurrected nowadays Napoleon trying to recreate Great Army from a mix of college kids and bums. How much time it would require? In the similar situation in this book it took protagonist mere weeks to achieve the goal.
