Scout Force is a pretty solid military sci-fi novel. The writing, setting, and formatting are pretty good, but there are some problems when it comes to characters. The K'rang scenes fall a little flat, perhaps due to underdevelopment of their culture. The romantic relationships could also use some work. The main character is described (several times) as being only average looking and yet within the first few minutes of meeting each other women just can't wait to get into his pants. I could understand if the relationships had some time to develop, but it just isn't believable as it stands and leaves most of the female characters all feeling like the same person.I'll buy the sequel and see how things develop.
