Review: Good military science fiction - inexpensive Kindle price  - not a deep book
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book moved to five stars from four because the author is not excessively greedy and priced it very attractively on Kindle.  The book is  fast paced.  It may add a little background if you have read the first book in the series, but it is not required.  Space pirates acting bad, damsel in distress,  marines outnumbered but coming to the rescue a classic plot with the damsel doing some of her own  kicking ass thrown in.  This is not a deep book.  The author tries to sell some philosophy points but he is not overly heavy handed.A fun book for fans of military science fiction such as David Weber's Harringtons series (without feeling like the author is grasping for every penny he can extract), although the characters are not very well developed.  The story line is action, you never get drawn into the characters as people.  Which is a shame because the plot would lend itself to sympathy and cheering for the heroine.  But somehow she never truly engages the reader  Possibly could be viewed as slightly testosterone driven juvenile writing.  But there is a place for such literature.Enjoy it for  what it is; a mindless romp through space.  Don't try to read deeply into the symbolism, there is none.
