Review: Terrible editing and poor form

I bought two of these before reading.  The style is odd - more like a radio bulletin (with snide asides) than normal narrative - but once you get past that, the frequent spelling and word choice errors are off putting (Denmark Straight? Really?).  This seems to have been dictated to a Sanskrit transcription program and then translated by Google.  There are numerous glaring spelling errors, almost no punctuation (commas are endangered) and the author only discovers the use of the apostrophe part way thru the second volume and then only uses it occasionally.  Oh, and the spelling switches back and forth from English to US usage - apparently at random with odd adventures into French(?) and other languages.  Each volume contains an appendix - at the end - which attempts to explain the jargon and abbreviations.A probably fictional officer fitness report purports to say: "His men would follow him anywhere - mostly out of curiosity."  I'm only tempted to buy the third volume out of curiosity - to see if the author finds an editor and a spell checker.  And because it is cheap."Real Writers" charge more - because they write comprehensible English
