Will never win any literary awards, but it was a SUPER fun read - and I can't wait to read more books in the series. ( ) So, probably some day the author read Starship Troopers and watched Blackhawk Down and thought: hey,why don't I narrate them together in writing? So, 0 originality points and 0 imagination/innovation points out of 5. BUT. I absolutely loved the ride (I have read Starship Troopers many times and will do it again, watched Blackhawk Down even more times and will watch it again) and also appreciated how well the author balances everything, from the excellent, functional writing to the action / non-action ratio,the losses to survival ratio and the believable to "lucky main character". I will definitely read the rest of the series and consider myself a Kloos fan from now on. Also, basic training was point on, most of it fitted perfectly into my own memories about it :) So far, I find this the best military scifi I have read, except Heinlein. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Frontlines (1) Erelijsten
The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world, or you can join the service. Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces. But as he starts a career of supposed privilege, he soon learns that good food and decent health care come at a steep price.
