I'm a huge fan of military sci-fi, and not put off by unexplainable/implausible technology or concepts... imagination is often the locus for human technical development.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book!  I think most fans of military sci-fi will as well provided they are not sticklers for perfection in how this books military is depicted...i would rather get on with the story than sit through tedious backstories or explanations that are irrelevant in a work of fiction...This series is Epic in its potential. I can see many future books being quite popular!There are some editing errors, and they are the kind that an avid reader will self correct while reading almost without distraction. This book is better in this way than most self published are. I don't think being hostile about editing a self published book should happen, mention it yes, unless it makes the book unreadable...but, calm down. Perfectionists should just stick with mainstream publishing companies if it's so important that you rant in a review...but you will lose out on some of the best books i've read. Fiction is an art...not science! Allow for the fact that some may enjoy something you don't, and expect the same from others.Update; After reading the negative reviews based on poor editing i have this to say..I have yet to read an e-book that is technically perfect, in fact it's probably a good idea to expect them to be filled with mistakes as a vast number of amateurs are writing them. I love many of the books i've read including this one, that probably wouldn't ever find the support of a publishing company with the resources to hire teams to deal with the mistakes.Self publishing e-books is a trend we're going to see increase, the people who attempt to edit the books themselves are probably doing it for nothing in regards to pay...that goes for the authors as well. I for one love this trend, perhaps if they earn a few dollars they can afford to hire a more skilled editor.I recommend you give up e-books if that's the reaction your going to have each time a new author puts something out...stick with profesional publishing companies to keep yourself calm.
