Well, I enjoyed the book, a good 'guilty pleasure'. The story is actually an interesting one, and the writing is well above average for Kindle only books. On the down side, the Marines (hero characters in case you'd not guessed) are way to good to be real. And I mean WAY too good. They are two-dimensional cardboard cut outs, and little more. On the other hand, some of the villains seem plausible - at least in their motives, and this distinguishes them from their opponents.Some other random thoughts. The author should probably stay away from sex scenes. I should think that too much of his audience is too young. The political and economic background to the action is well developed and a lot of fun as a problem for the heroes to solve. Much is made of a professor early on, and he is then pretty much abandoned. He could have been very interesting, and one can hope that he will teach us how to shape up the planet (Avalon, not earth) in the next book? heck, he could help us quite a bit with shaping up this country too!All in all it's not a bad effort, and I'll probably sink for another one.
