Review: Great story, poor grammar.

I finished the first book in the series and immediately went on to the second book.  While the storyline is excellent once again, the quality of the writing seems to have dropped off 10% to 20%.  The prologue contained superfluous backstories and used the word "rankle" twice within a page and a half.  One rankle per novel, please.As other readers have noted, some of the grammar and syntax was confusing to the point that some sentence structures were unreadable.  Someone should have proofed this novel a bit more.  You can't blame the author for not seeing all of his own mistakes, but someone should have.Other than that, it was an enjoyable read and I've moved on to the third novel.  It still has some grammatical issues, but not quite as many as the second novel.Some of the battle ballistics didn't seem very "newtonian", but I read the novel quickly, so they might make sense.  I do believe that the effects of deceleration may have been confused with acceleration.But, it's worth the read if you like the first novel and the saga continues in a very good fashion into the third novel.On a more personal note, the use of "wilco" drives me crazy.
