Review: Not what I was expecting
Rating: 1 out of 5

This book was everything the description said it was and nothing more.I picked up this story based on the reviews and ratings it had but found myself disappointed. I try to read some of the smaller authors out there and generally feel I got my monies worth for a story here I didn't. The story is one dimensional with very few real twists once the characters have been laid out. The history of the galaxy and information about the setting in the story was very bland with almost no effort being done to truly set a stage for our characters. I'm truly surprised at the amount of 4 and 5 star reviews for what was one of the least memorable books I read this year.I got the feeling that the only part of the story our author cared about is showing us humans beating up aliens. I find myself very disappointed in this story that I assumed was geared towards an adult audience but rarely moved past a 6th or 7th grade level. Even that would have been OK if the plot and characters didn't feel like they were cut and past to fit.I picked up this book and its sequel but am unlikely to read more by this author.gallandro
