A Soldier's Duty by Jean Johnson

3.0

I liked the basic story and am certainly interested to see where it goes next. However I found it a bit heavy on the military description and ended up skimming sections quite often. For example when they are being trained on the guns there was SIX pages in a row describing the different types of guns used by the marines. Also I found it hard to warm to the heroine as she doesn't really interact or form connections with anyone as her mission is too important and she knows what is going to happen to everyone. I think a little less omnipotence and manipulation ( I don't mind some it just too much in the story) and a little more human interaction would have improved it for me.
