As always a bit of a twist with this author, though this is comparatively more normal than her other books. Basically a near future technology book disguised as a military sf. A bit more realistic than say [b:Starship Troopers|17214|Starship Troopers|Robert A. Heinlein|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1406457252s/17214.jpg|2534973] or [b:Old Man's War|51964|Old Man's War (Old Man's War, #1)|John Scalzi|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1402867788s/51964.jpg|50700], but mostly because the tech is not as far out. There was a lot going on in this one, including an emerging AI, or perhaps not. And yet it was not a quick read. Perhaps a little less military. Or perhaps if this was told from a different pov. 3.5 of 5.
