The Red: First Light by Linda Nagata

4.0

Terrific military science fiction story that moves at a breakneck pace and that was precisely what I wanted at the moment. I had a strange sensation of deja vu initially, because the entire setup of location, technology and even the ruling premise felt like something I'd just read. The first chapters have an uncanny resemblance to Joe Haldeman's 1997 award-winning novel, Forever Peace although Nagata takes her story in a completely different direction.

The Red: First Light is non-stop action and if that's your cup of tea, you'll love it. It does a terrific job of creating a near-future world colored by search engines, social media and the defense industry.
