I was a bit disappointed in this book, but gave it the benefit of my dithering between 2 and 3 stars - Its OK, but not up to the standards of the preceding books in the Wandering Engineer series, a series I thoroughly enjoy, I might add.It requires a greater than normal suspension of belief this time round - To take a bunch of civilians, induct them untrained into the military with up to commissioned rank, fight and win a major  battle  against not merely overwhelming odds, but catastrophically overwhelming odds with grossly undermanned ships, is not really what I expected..OK, the implants could go some distance towards overcoming the lack of military training, but really?  Anyone who has had any sort of military training and discipline  will be grinding their teeth with this one.Still, I guess I will be buying the next in the series - hopefully it will be a little more grounded in military reality.  The book obviously sets the scene for the future storyline.Keep writing, I like your style!
