I rather enjoyed this book straight thru, and had no concerns about buying the second volume once I was finished. The author includes a preface regarding the editing and possible error corrections, which I was more than happy to provide. I felt the story was good enough that editing issues should not detract from the story; and for something that appears to be mostly self-edited, the errors I did find (and submit) were typical typos and the like. I see reviews commenting on the editing, so I'm not sure how many revisions this book has gone thru, but my version was purchased on December 23 2012.Beyond the editing, the story itself was fairly engrossing. The story generally revolves around a Marine "deployment" (actually more of an exile) on a planet that is on the verge of civil war, so much of the focus is on military action, which tends to move rather fast. Even the non-action scenes were of interest, not quite filler, but necessary for plot development, but also not boring or causing me to lose interest.
