The book was borderline 3-4 stars and the price slid it into 4 stars.This reminded me greatly of Jerry Pournelle's Codominium series with the Falkenberg Legion and Sparta. Perhaps not as well written but showing great potential.  This book does cry out for a sequel and perhaps with more character development and emotional buy in from readers associated with a multiple book series, this series will also rise to a "classic".  I would buy a sequel, if price stays in same rangeThe villains are truly evil.  The government officials either inept, corrupt, stupid or all three.  Only the marines stand above as honest and  capable.  Perhaps this could have been tempered with a few more competent government officials?Price is good and it is a fun afternoon read.  It is not a deep novel, but does not pretend to be.  There is an underlying message that too much welfare support form the government leads to failure of civilization.  But the politics are not overbearing.There are a few typos that would benefit from proof reading; but I did not find it as bad as some reviewers indicated.  Perhaps some of the worse typos have already been eliminated from Kindle electronic copy.  Or perhaps I am just not as sensitive since I also have tendency to leave typos in my reviews.
