Marines by Jay Allan
4.0
We've all read this story before. A young nobody from a nowhere life joins the military, has a talent for it, and shoots up the ranks. But what makes the story a bit different is that the author has given us a lot of background. He's giving us information about the world and how it came to be. With this backstory, the plight of our hero is a little more believable. Minor spoiler alert: the fact that he comes to realize the truth of the world he fights for and then realizes why he truly fights, makes for quite the interesting situation.
With that all said, I did enjoy the story. And I'm ready to continue on with the entire series. I found the writing to be easy which is saying a lot for somebody like me who is dyslexic. Not once did I find myself having to reread sections to make sure I understood what was happening. Everything was clear and concise. I've collected several of Jay Allan's books, and am happy now that I've finally gotten the chance to read his work. If you enjoyed military sci-fi as I do, stories that do have an intelligent plot, I recommend that you get your own copy of this story, read it, and then continue on as I will.
