3.0

This was an Endeavour book read, and not one I would have read otherwise. Basically relatively simple squad level military space opera. Evil shapeshifter looking for his mate, hunted by a rouge-ish empath soldier. Not a horrible read, just not especially good. 3.5 of 5.

My primary issue with this book was the author's tendency to write big action set pieces and string them together with extremely limited character development. If every third scene had been removed and the remaining scenes lengthend and developed, this would have been a much more successfull novel. Despite the short lengh, I was releived when it finaly ended, because I had no investment in the characters.

He also suffers from a terminal case of telling, not showing. In picky technical issues, there were far to many exclamation points, in places where they were not waranted. This author is aparently relatively popular, but at this point I have no interest in reading further works by him.
