"Chang spared an irritable thought for how the hostages were the safest ones in this mess. They were the only people that nobody had any reason to shoot."This was actually a very engaging military sci-fi story, with a growing political factor as things progress. The technology is on a par with that of Rick Shelley or Mike Shepherd but the writing shines, and the political factors swinging into play make this something more than just cannon fodder. I recommend it for any fans of the genre, if you're so inclined it'll hold and keep you. I'm pretty sure I loved this book. I ended up staying up an extra 3 hours on saturday night reading.The synopsis of the book certainly does it justice (Though I rarely read those anymore, I just check out the samples on amazon). The story jumps around a bit between a couple characters. Its hard to tell who the main character is, but for whatever reason it seems to work out.I had trouble keeping track of some characters. It didn't help that I was on an e-reader and wasn't really able to flip back a few pages quickly. One paragraph will be the main character, the next will be from the point of view of someone he's interacting with. It got ..distracting near the end of the book. Its very obvious to me the book was self-published (I had to do a big of google searching to confirm). It defiantly needed a bit of editing.That being said, I would still absolutely recommend it to other people. Especially since the book is only $2.99 on the kindle store.
What do You think about Poor Man's Flight (2000)?
Slow start, but it finished with a ridiculously satisfying band. Excited for the sequel.

Enjoyed it. A bit slow during some parts and a few typos but they didn't hurt the story.

Pretty good military sci-fi, if a bit overly dramatic at the end.
