A review by corrompido
First Light by Linda Nagata

3.0

I read this book because I was sick, it was on an end of year best science fiction of 2015 list, and it was $2 on Amazon. I preface my review of the book with those facts because I found the book really enjoyable but it was definitely trashy enough to warrant a "2$ and stuck inside with a fever" mindset.

The story itself is somewhat recycled near-future soldier drama, but the first half especially has a really good mystery unwinding that kept me hooked. I'll continue in the trilogy, but suspect the wheels may come off of the story somewhat given where this book ends.
