Review: Good but off

The book was good, the story kept me turning the pages. But for a military book, there were things off. The most glaring fault was the reference of clips of ammunition. Most weapons use magazines as a clip merely holds a few rounds together until loaded, at which point the clip comes off. It was clear by the words that magazine was intended as at one point someone slid the "clip" in smoothly.Also, the ship structure/shape could've been clarified. With most sci-fi books, a space ship is basically a water ship to some degree, at least in comparable shape. From my understanding, if correct these ships were a tube shape with a large spinning ring around it. While a picture would be nice, more detailed description would've sufficed. As I had no concept as to how something shaped as I pictured could possibly been a warship with super powerful lasers if it relied on a spinning ring for gravity.If these little things don't bother you and you just want a good story, this is a great pick for it.
