Review: Plenty of Action in a Sci-fi Setting
Rating: 4 out of 5

There are those books out there that one wonders how they escaped more general notice, but with the e-book market as it is, maybe that's not so hard a thing to believe. Some genres seem to get more notice than others, though as a long time fan of sci-fi and fantasy, I'm always on the search for capable authors I've not read before to supplement writers I always return to. Many fellow fans seem to be the same.If you enjoy more of the sci-fi sub-genres that gravitate towards the heavily detailed and militaristic, "aliens versus humans versus humans who'd allied themselves with the aliens," "That Which Is Human", would certainly be a recommended read. I can appreciate the camaraderie and discipline often associated with armed forces personnel or situations, but it's not a lifestyle or profession I believe in, admire or like, so for me, that aspect of the story I didn't care for, and as it was central to the core of it, that was hard to deal with. Just the same, although some phrases or characters seemed a bit like cliqués at times, the writing is sound and there's clear purpose and planning evident in the whole. Plenty of hard core action for the military sci-fi fan, deep enough emotional content and characterization that others could also be satisfied.[....]
