Review: Pulpy military sci-fi
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 3, 2013
I read the first book in this series Admiral Who? because it was free, and I am a sucker for military sci-fi and space operas.  I enjoyed it immensely, and purchased Admiral's Gambit after finishing book 1.The setting is fairly standard for sci-fi, with some neat additions.  There is a decent amount of back story to the current tumultuous state of the galaxy, and plenty of potential for adding depth.  I feel like I should again warn off people who require detailed explanations of technology in order to enjoy science fiction.  Don't get me wrong, there is nothing that insults the reader's intelligence, just be willing to suspend your disbelief and enjoy the story.I think the biggest complaint I have against Admiral’s Gambit is that far more plot lines opened than were resolved, which caused the progress in the overarching plot to appear fairly small.In summary if you read and enjoyed the first book in the series, Admiral’s Gambit is a fun and thoroughly enjoyable follow-up.
