Don't really need to say much;  been almost 3 years since this came out, and plenty of other reviews have been written about it.  I read it not long after it came out, which I regret, because I was stuck waiting for a sequel.  Fortunately, for everyone else, there are now 4 sequels (total of five books, so far, in the series) and they are (almost) all as good as this.The ground military action is well done, the space battles are also well done, and the mix of less developed human technology versus the much more developed alien technology makes for a great blend, and inspires some very well done scenes.About the only way you would dislike this book is if you dislike military sci-fi, and if you do dislike military sci-fi, I would question your judgement as to buying a book in this genre in the first place.Couple of comments about military jargon:  yes, there was some, but would you not expect military personnel to speak and think in military jargon?  That would be like complaining that a book about doctors and medical technology had too much medical jargon.Anyways, I highly recommend this book, and its sequels.
