I have enjoyed this author's various space opera series including the Heritage, Inheritance and Legacy Trilogies featuring Marines in space. A veteran of aircraft carrier service myself, I am somewhat familiar what kind of command structure and manning requirements are needed.
One thing that I do not like about these books (and this is merely a personal belief) is the prevalent emphasis on casual and recreational sex. Sandy rarely takes lovers and although he is still a Prim and a monogie, his lovers were not.
I disliked Taggart admitting that she had other lovers as well as Sandy encouraging him to sleep with other women as well as her. I admire Sandy for being able to love Taggart despite her proclivities which must have hurt him. Taggart's suggestions for Sandy to sleep with other women, and her confession that she would continue to see other men, makes me dislike the Taggart character somewhat.
This is my personal belief not a reflection on the author. While I may not be a Prim, I am definitely a monogie. I cannot do casual or recreational sex because I do not find it fulfilling for me or my partner.
