Review: OK Mil Sci-Fi Adventure
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 02 24, 2013
This is the story of a lifer, a junior officer who is never to be promoted but always to be stationed on the front lines, and how he will make the difference in resolving an intrigue which will affect the Empire and the course of the war.  I enjoyed the action and intrigue sequences in this mil sci-fi novel which has many space battles and land combat.  The action sequences are the strength of this novel and kept me interested in the story through the end.  Unfortunately, there were issues with characterization and use of poor plot devices which had me cringing too many times.  Too many characters were caricatures that lacked in depth and credibility.  Also, there was too frequent use of implausible plot devices to escape from near impossible situations (aka deus ex machina) which were primarily related to ability to hack computer systems at will.  For those looking for a good mil sci-fi action story, and are willing to forgive some characterization and plot device issues, this should be a fine story.No significant editing issues were noted.  A choice of Treasons is 13,528 Kindle locations long.  Standard length "paperback" novels seem to run in the 4,500 to 7,000 plus Kindle location range.  Long novels can range from 15,000 to 20,000 plus Kindle locations.  UPDATE:  Author's website had a post indicating that prequel stories can be expected in late 2013 or 2014.
