I got this book when I was reading up on modern military SF. I'd had an idea of trying to write something in the field, and figured that I should familiarize myself with what sold.
This was a readable book. Like the other works of Huff's that I've read, it is nothing spectacular, but has a solid narrative and well drawn characters. There's nothing particularly innovative or striking in this -- I did not leave the book thinking "Gee, that was a nifty idea" or anything. But it was a good way to burn a few hours. What can I say?

My First Release!
I'll leave this on the coffee table near the front door. I've spent MANY hours reading there, and believe that I may have read at least part of this book at that very spot. It seems only fitting.

Found this book at Starbucks, where I work. I had heard of bookcrossing.com, so i figured I'd check it out and pass the book along. I'm not really into sci-fi, so I doubt I'll read the entire 400 pages. Expect it to be released into the wild in the next few days. If found, I'd at least recommend a decent skimming. Looks intense. Zwackus, I've probably served you coffee, or at least offended you in some way.

Seems very interesting, but I don't know if I will read it. I hunted it down to take back to Portland to release.
Released at Jim and Pattie's in Portland, OR, but I am having a hard time entering a release note. I will keep trying.

This is my first Book Crossing book. I found it in the laundry room of my building while waiting for my clothes to stop agitating. This book is now waiting to be read in The Commodore Apartment building.
I found this book engaging! I had never read a SciFi military novel before this one. It was a quick read because of all the action. The ending felt like I was missing something, as if it were an inside joke that I wasn't on the inside of. That would not detour me from reading it again, however, and I have already purchased the sequel.
There were a lot of sexual inuendos and cussing, which I enjoyed immensly. Tanya Huff is incredibly good at writing dialog between her characters and it was the dialog that was the meat of this book.
