interesting idea i would have given a better rating EXCEPT: (1) the ending, which is amazingly unscientific (and deus ex machina) and (2), the main character appears to be a superman for no obvious reason who (3) has been written into a male wet-dream -- apparently, men are in short supply, good men even fewer, the normally-competent women are seemingly incapable of doing their best to take him to bed, even if that means a rotating schedule that gets more crowded to the end...

if this had been just a small portion of the adventure, i could have forgiven it, but it's interwoven into the main plotline on almost every page... ( )

Mediocre to bad

The end was disappointing. For all of the military terminology, there were fundamental errors. For instance, Marines do not use Strykers; they use LAVs. Also, a commissioned officer can simply enlist personnel, then promote them to fill needs.

Finally, the bad: the big weapon against the enemy is radio waves. This showed a fundamental lack of understanding of cosmic phenomenon. Heck, it's a failure of science...in science fiction!!!

All of this was wrapped up in wish-fulfillment prose. Superman and his harem. Magic sleep-teaching tech. Super AI computers.

Why wait 80yrs to revive the only military person left? Why wait until the nearest AI was about to fail?

I was barely hanging in there, then they deployed their super radio bombs. I cannot recommend anyone read this. ( )
