Review: A fantastic sci-fi action and war story.

So much stuff happens in this book. The amount of details that are written with the progression of battles are amazing. This feels like a Battlestar Galactica style of "sci fi", or at least that's how it felt for me. Because the pace between plot points is so fast, it was possible to get a little lost and jolted if you missed one little detail. This writer's military background is definitely beneficial for the piece. The narrator is very reliable but a tad-bit one dimensional and under developed as a person. What I enjoyed most about this book is the brief glimpses of Grant reflecting on the events the just unfolded. These short bursts added some character development, but I would have liked to have see more. Either way, this is a very dense piece, fast paced and full of action, which is the intention and it does a very good job at it.
