A reasonably good afternoon's read, but the political aspects felt a bit flat and I didn't get a good read on the interpersonal stuff. At times I felt more like I was reading out of morbid curiousity. It gives me a sort of laid back Deathstalker vibe to it, things moved a bit fast and felt a bit deus ex-ish at times. It's not a bad book, and I was definitely turning pages avidly by the end. But I'm not invested enough to go further with the series.
About the author
Tom Kratman is author of A State of Disobedience (Baen). In 1974, at age seventeen, he became a political refugee and defector from the PRM (People's Republic of Massachusetts) by virtue of joining the Regular Army. He attended Boston College after his first hitch, then rejoined the Army until after the Gulf War, when he decided to become a lawyer. Every now and again, when the frustrations of legal life and having to deal with other lawyers got to be too much, Tom would rejoin the Army (or a somewhat similar group, say) for fun and frolic in other climes. His family, muttering darkly, still puts up with this. Tom is currently an attorney practicing in southwest Virginia.
