Review: Fun adventure sci-fi, but needs some editing help

I read The War of Pawns, which is the third book in T.R. Harris' series The Human Chronicles. Our adventurers have made it home, but things aren't as they were before and the merry band is soon heading out for more adventure as the war kicks up.  As I've stated in previous reviews for this series, the story is really good and a lot of fun. As this is book three I hate to give away too much of the story, but the die has been cast and the alien intrigue is now clear to more than just Adam Cain and his companions as they head out to do battle and protect the interests of the human race. Once again, however, the lack of care with editing and proofreading brought down the score.  It's wonderful to have a great story and readers want that, but when the lack of editing is evident on almost every page it becomes a problem that distracts me from the story. Independently published or not, at least have some of your friends read it over for errors and ask that they mark them. That said, I've had a great time running around in this universe and will probably read the fourth book that has been announced. If you enjoy a good action/science fiction adventure story this may be for you if you're willing to take the editing errors with a grain of salt.
