Review: Unsophisticated, Many Problems but Strangely Addictive
Rating: 3 out of 5

I'll start with the bad: the writing style is simple to the point of being childish. Sentences are short. The hero is perfect. He has no discernible personality. Nevertheless young women invite him into their bedrooms and take their clothes off.Rodney Smith's astrophysics is, to use a polite word, imaginative. Spaceship performance is inconsistent, sometimes they can "jump", other times they just have to make speed as best they can to get from A to B.Despite all that I downloaded the second book in a flash onto my Kindle, and kept reading. There is lots of action and the good guys, as other reviewers have pointed out, always win easily. Kelly, the hero, is an ace pilot and strategist and never makes a mistake. As I said in the review title, "Scout Force" is addictive despite its faults.
