Review: Okay story and a surprise ending
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 08 2, 2012
Keeping with my style of "hit or miss" reviews, this book started with so much promise and I wanted to believe in the characters but they were just so shallow with depth into character development except perhaps the alien hating nut-so father ( let those of you that haven't read this ponder on that). It is however a good insight into the potential yet fictional future of the global economy, political risings and fallings and power lust of the human animal. This is not an uplifting, we kicked their ass story. It is brutal reality. As someone who has experienced war myself, the author either has or knows people that have and relates the loneliness, dirt and despair, yet the "get the job done" attitude of servicemen and women everywhere. But back to the issue of my 2 star rating. The ending was a total let down. I won't spoil it for the other potential readers and it just my own silly opinion anyways. So I'm saying this book is a Miss, but I will continue to browse Vaughn's other projects, he shows great promise.
