"Adapt and Overcome" is my first by author Peter Grant. It tells the very readable story of Lt. Steve Maxwell who finds himself in the center of intrigue and world wars despite being a lowly space military grunt. This is the third book in the series, but Grant does a good job of making it simple for the casual reader to pick up on his tale. He's a very orderly and entertaining writer, and I enjoyed the characters he creates. They include very strong women, and he peppers the sci-fi tale with quite a bit of description of planetary economics and politics. I read the book quite quickly and finished feeling satisfied. I did want more about the villain to enhance conflict. It's there. But I really wanted to dislike the fellows and I longed for more of what drove them.
