A bit dry at first, but by the middle of the book it became pretty interesting. It reminded me of other military sci-fi i've read in that the action is not extremely detailed and has a decent amount of reality to it. My only gripes are it's sometimes too obvious gung ho attitude about the marines (forgivable as they are the centerpiece of the book) and the ineptitude and obvious 'bad guy' image of the UN.

Very clever tale of the U.S. Marines as they take to space for battle on Mars over ancient artifacts. Great military space opera.

In this Ian Douglas book, scientists working on Mars discover alien technology and the U.S. marines have to fight the U.N., which is bent on dominating the world and the solar system, to protect the scientists. The book starts slowly, but is moving on much better by the second half. It was well written and suspenseful.
