I spent some time in the US Army Infantry and after reading this book, I'd never want to be in Richard's Drop Troopers. I could have gone airborne, but I don't think they were this miserable to their own kind. The First chapter starts out at the beginning of a combat assault on the planet "New Earth". So far so good. Then (and for the next 44% of the kindle Book) it flashed back to Andy first joining his outfit aboard the Challenger troop ship. Two things you need to realize: No one likes new guys (C.R.O.W.) and understanding English slang is very useful. Once we got past "mate" I was lost.I'm all for character development, but this went too far for me. Once they got back into battle the pace picked up. Therefore, only four stars.
