Review: Exceptional, except for the editing... Read this one and you'll buy the others in the series!

Every once in a while a story and characters come along that make you feel like your "in the book". Heppner has accomplished that with Marten Kluge and Company in his Doom Star Series. Star Soldier begins with a journey of the transformation for young Marten Kluge and explores the possibilities of what our societies and our solar system could ultimately end up like. The stories cleverly merge sci-fi, action, cultural issues, and future political situations with strong characters that evolve with each and every book in the series. Books #3 and #4 are now my favorites, while I wait patiently for book #5 to see where the later part of this fascinating journey takes me. The only complaint in this and the other three books are some scattered lapses in editing, and when the author spends too much time describing things the reader is already familiar with from earlier in the story/series. Otherwise, this first book and all the follow-ups are must read pieces of sci-fi that will take you to a future of epic proportions. Keep them coming Vaughn!
