I only had a couple of problems in this novella.  Because of these reasons, I won't be reading the sequel.EVERY person in this book had basic, forgetful names.  What I mean is this:  something along the line of Davis, Smith, Anderson, White, Lee, etc.  I'd say at least 98% of the names were along this line.  I couldn't differentiate between characters (very hard to follow the book) -- and I'm not sure I cared.  When one died, I really didn't care because I was clueless as to who they were.  This may just be a problem with me though.Okay, the military jargon.  I usually don't have a problem with this.  I have reviewed probably 80 PA books so I'm kinda used to it.  To get to the point -- again this was hard to follow.  As a civilian, I don't really have a grip on chain of command.  Example: Lt Colonel, Staff Sergeant, Major, Captain, etc.  No clue.  Then there was battalions, mountaineers, units.  It was actually kinda boring.Three stars -- I LOVED the Klowns.  Totally off the wall and humorous.  Seriously.  Off the hook.  I believe the hardcore PA fans will enjoy this.  Did I say gore and more gore?  So for those of you who can keep the names straight and their rank and their division read this.  Klowns.  Who knew?
