sandywilliams03 's review for:
Dauntless
by Jack Campbell
As military science fiction, this book is awesome. The battles were intense, and I felt as if I was holding my breath waiting to see what would go wrong and how things would turn out.
I bought this book for... uh... myself (sort of) because it was recommended by an author I like and because the plot is similar to Linnea Sinclair's ACCIDENTAL GODDESS: the MC reappears after a hundred years to find that he's made history as a hero (or goddess, in Sinclair's book). The only thing that bothered me were the italicized sections where the author switched to first person to have his MC explain his thinking or actions to the reader. I got over this after a while, but it did take me out of the story a little bit at first.
This book deserves 5 stars, but I'm giving it 4 because the science of time-delayed battled and .1, .2, and .5 lightspeed manuevers hurt my head. Plus, I like books which have a romantic subplot in them. If this book had that, it would well and truly rock. :-)
