Review: Mindless SF Violence
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 07 10, 2014
I generally like military SF but this book totally turned me off. It started off with combat action, always a good intro, but then raced on from one dire situation to another, with no indication of an overall plot and practically no explanation of the conflict or universe the story is taking place in. The heroin rescues a fellow pilot, who seems to be non-human, and then gets chewed out for it, then gets harassed by some grunts, and then raped by the grunts' officer. For complaining she gets put on even suckier duty. It goes down hill from there. I'm all for gritty, realistic novels but this simply turned me off--I couldn't finish it. This may appeal to some but I will not be reading anymore of this series of books.
