Review: OK, but kinda nonsensical.

The series is general is technically well-written, but a lot of the tactics and technologies are nonsensical.For instance, the big deal of the series is Vanguard power armor.  However, as we're finding out in real life, armor is often rather easily defeated by un- or lightly-armored personnel.The naval forces don't seem to use missiles much (if at all), despite clearly having the capability; instead they lumber about shooting railguns at each other (which are themselves mounted on rotating habitat sections; I shudder to think of the difficulty that adds to firing solutions).And the villians are just too flat; there's nothing interesting about them, they just exist as punching bags for the equally two-dimensional heroes.It's a decent read, but it gets boring pretty fast.
