Search - Better to Beg Forgiveness...

This was an excellent military adventure that was relatively light on the science and heavy on tactics, strategy, and bureaucratic politics! Two RPGs up :o)

Decent enough book, but nowhere near as good a read as "Freehold" or "The Weapon" by the same author. My major complaints are the difficult to follow banter (conversations shift gears unexpectedly), and characters that are referred to by first name, last name, or nickname at random. And there are seven team members. It adds up to complexity with little return.

Mr. Williamson, knows how to give a rip-roaring ride in the military sci-fi genre, and this book is no exception. A fast paced action with a very pointed plot about the trickiness of colonial politics. But, if plot isn't your thing then the shoot'em up action will definitely get you.
