If your looking for Military Sci-fi with a strong female lead, this book is a must read.The author has created a very unique universe with well developed characters that display many emotions that make you laugh and want to cry when tragedy strikes.Our lead character Layda Reese is constantly the object of extreme bigotry and ignorance, because of an in-body alien resident, the result of a naval experiment to ally with the "Hiss" a sentient alien race that can't reach the stars with-out the help of their new-found human alliance. Some could point to simular parallels to "Honor Harrinton", with the alien able to read emotions and Nayda's love of martial arts, but her ability to over-come the bias, and hatred  while establishing close loyalties of friends and finding support of army units that know her,keep her from going insane or being killed by her enemies.I gave this novel only 4 stars because sometimes it stretches the imagination even though it is sci-fi, and I figured the editing would be better for sequel, but typo's or not it is a good read and I hope there is a third book in this series
