A NEW FORCE IN MILITARY SCI-FI: "Glory Main" is an enjoyable and well crafted Military SciFi novel which does an excellent job of mixing elements of classical Military Scifi like Robert Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" and "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" and Joe Haldeman's "The Forever War" (In which Governments and Political Movements are rarely a Grunt's best friend) with the more modern approach to Military SciFi embraced by author's like Rick Shelley - "The Fires of Coventry", "The Dirigent Mercenary Corps" (That focus on the role of regular infantrymen in the future world without suits of armor and giant lasers like in "Starship Troopers"). On top of all this Mr. O'Neil gives us a moving story of a young and idealistic Lt. trapped behind enemy lines with a ragtag group of support personnel, under-armed and without food and water, who must find a way to survive, avoid the enemy and find a way to escape an enemy-held planet which reminded me of many 60's movies about World War Two starring the likes of Alec Guinness and Frank Sinatra. I truly enjoyed reading this book and I hope Mr. O'Neil returns to this story soon, I for one will be buying any sequel he writes. I'm giving this book 5 stars and if you want to check out my other reviews you'll see that I really have to like something to give it a 5 star rating. If you like authors like Robert Heinlein, Joe Haldeman, John Ringo, David Weber, and Eric Flint I believe you will like this book. Onderdeel van de reeks(en)The Sim War Series (Volume 1)
"Henry V. O'Neil is the name under which award-winning mystery novelist Vincent H. O'Neil publishes his science fiction work." -- from "About the Author" page at end of book.
"Four strangers find themselves on a planet soon to become a battlefield in mankind's war for survival against the human-like Sims. Lieutenant Mortas: new to the war zone, but he's expected to take charge. Captain Trent: a psychoanalyst, she's better at treating combat stress than enduring it. Gorman: a conscientious objector more concerned with preserving his soul than with saving his life. Cranther: Veteran of a brutal slave-scout detachment, no skin is as important as his own. Thrown together, they have to battle the elements, the enemy, and possibly each other." -- back cover. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
