Review: Creative and irritating
Rating: 3 out of 5

WARNING: Do not read this book without having read the previous ones. There are references to events in those books that are not explained but are important. Even in a series, a book should have a beginning and an end. Here, the end is missing and one is supposed to buy the next one in the series. Endless training and simulations for Jethro and his buddies, occasional action.Having said this, the book shows a lot of creativity showing engeneered cats and dogs fighting besides humans, new weapons are invented on the drop of a hat, and a new colony is trying to get up on its feet. There is the corrupt governor, the evil senator, the brave marines, and dying for your brother.Cutting a third of the simulations and adding a bit more explanations about what had happened before would have made a better book.
