An exciting story by itself, but also a great prologue to the trilogy Sullivan's War, as described in a first hand account from the person that knew best.This is the account of how the military started a war on Edaline. It is the story told by a lone survivor of an attack on the Squamata, the natives of Edaline.I was able to relate easily to the main character of this story. The confusion Sergeant Riley felt, and the military pressure he was given brought the story to life for me. Although written as science fiction, there is an edge of possibility that brings the reader into the story. While this does not require the reader run out and find the next book, it does work very well to explain some of the story presented in Sullivan's War.Since this was written as a stand-alone science fiction story, it works very well. It is not necessary to read any other books to be excited by this one.I can easily recommend this book to those of us who really enjoy science fiction, but also those who enjoy military fiction. Having enjoyed this story, I was really looking forward to reading the Sullivan's War trilogy.
