Review: Exceptionally Good Pacing
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a decent to good military science-fiction novel, but what really makes it work is the exceptionally good pacing.  Firestar is a real page-turner.  I had to read it in one sitting, and it turned me on to author Bruce Bretthauer, whose other stories are also well done to exceptional.  I particularly recommend Firestar's sequel, Morosini's Children (_better_ than Firestar), and Bretthauer's fun fantasy detective novel, Kassandra's Song.Pacing is IMO not something which can be learned - an author either has it doesn't.  Bretthauer has it.  I look forward to more by him.
