Rating: 3 out of 5

This book has a great many similarities to the Semper Fi universe by the same author. However, this story is set only a few hundred years in the future instead of millennia. The basic premise is that the UN slowly took over the world after extra-solar colonization became a reality. The UN evolved into a semi-socialist society that required support from the colony worlds to survive. This tale is about the young man who engineered the downfall of that system.The main characters are well developed for an independent author and they grow throughout the book. The plot line is somewhat straight forward so don't expect many surprise events while reading it. Action is described in broad sweeping strokes instead of the intricate detail of the hard core military sci fi writers. Overall, I enjoyed the book even with the similarities between the settings. I would recommend reading the book a month or so after your last Semper Fi novel to avoid burnout. Enjoy!
