Review: Good but...
Rating: 4 out of 5

This was an enjoyable read and parts of it were Clancy-esque in their portrayals of possible near-future technological and political developments. A few reviewers pointed out some inconsistencies in the weapons systems that I won't repeat here. I also thought the book could use a good copy-edit--for example: the book uses a number of acronyms...about 1/3 of the way through the book, a page seems devoted to explaining what the different acronyms stand for instead of explaining them upon first use. The character development was not real thorough but didn't seem as shallow as some said. I agree with the comments that the ending was hurried and perhaps forced. Another 50 pages could have better rounded the book. All in all, a decent read and a very good book at the $1.99 Kindle price level.
