Review: Wow, what a story!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Imaginative and exciting.Captain Harris is so well written as a leader constantly balancing his personnel management with command requirements and his personal feelings. One really feels for him. Doc and Carrie have a relationship that is jeopardised by both the No Fraternisation policy of the military and the insane "super soldier" programme that Sharley and the military have cooked. Even though Sharley has gone rogue, he is getting help from somewhere and the military are not exactly being open and honest with Harris. Carrie, Doc and Mckinley go through hell together and will never be the same again.My only real gripe is that Carrie is expected to be (and is) back on duty immediately as if nothing happened; the two men also. PTSD is not mentioned, although since we know about it now, surely it would be a factor in a future military force, and counselling required? After all, public pressure requires that of modern armies, even though elements within them may be as unscrupulous as in this story (and after all, the thoroughly decent Capt Harris is a product of that same army).But that's not enough to detract from my 5 stars - I can't wait for the next book - how many books are anticipated?
