The only reason I slogged through the first 200 pages of this second-of-a-series 637-page book is because I had it on my shelf. But before finishing the first 200 pages I was already scanning the pages to follow a plot---which was hard to even find. But then I scanned scores of pages of the first book in the series too. At 200 pages, I finally asked myself why I was wasting my time reading it, and stopped.
I love military sci-fi, but this is actually military fantasy, and it is terribly overdone. I'm former military myself, and had hoped the author's 25 years in the military would have taught him something. I'd like to know what his assigned specialty was, because somehow I don't think he saw too much combat, otherwise he wouldn't be having the military "wet-dreams" he writes about in his novels.
The third book in this series is somewhere in my TBR stacks, but I'm not going to even open it when I stumble across it. It will go right to the thrift store.
