Great premise for this book: people in the twilight of their lives, with a lifetime of experience, are given a new life and new body, with just one catch, they have to join up with the military and fight wars around the Galaxy.
Fairly easy read. I enjoyed the beginning of this book, with its descriptions of basic training and preparations for combat... kind of reminded me of Starship Troopers at boot camp. Still, as the combat began, and the varied environments / wars were described, I felt that the author was rather stand-offish. More details could have been provided for individual characters at this point in the book. The time flow of the story was very accelerated, and I began to lose interest in keeping up with the characters since so little was explained.
Still, overall, i thought it was a decent book, albeit mostly for the beginning. Great premise, just not good with the follow through/back half of the book.
