I've been enjoying the Alamo series as a light hearted sci-fi book of likable characters using their wits and hutzpah to succeed in their missions.  This book continues that tradition, but takes into several new directions.  There's more development of the female crew members as people, and not just junior officers filling a role.  And there's the gritty, bloody, nigh-hopeless sense of battle provided in the ground war portions of this book.  This book offers the most emotional writing yet found in this series and is infinitely better because it of it.
