A review by kesnit
Marines by Jay Allan
4.0
The book loses a star for two reasons. First, the first part of the book reminds me very much of Starship Troopers. (The enemies are humans, not "Bugs," but idea of the books is very similar.) Second, the main character is a bit of a Marty Stu. He's amazing! He wins awards! He flies up the ranks!
What really makes up for those two flaws is the writing. Under it all, the book is a really good read. I got absorbed in this book to the point of not wanting to go to sleep. The main character is fleshed out as a person.
I'm looking forward to reading more books in this series.
