A review by survivalisinsufficient
Fire with Fire by Charles E. Gannon

3.0

3.5 stars, maybe even 4? I almost quit reading this early on because it was a bit too old-school scifi (including Heinlein-esque badass female characters who are all mushy over the lead), but some of the goodreads reviews said it got better after the midpoint, so I kept going and it definitely did - first half was more like a spy thriller, second half became more like a diplomatic face-off that was very cool. Interested to see where the next ones goes.
