Rating: - Quality Space Warfare
I normally don't read this kind of starship trooper stuff but after the first book bought at an airport I too am hooked. Campbell writes with authority as though he has personal experience of space warfare and has obviously done a lot of research of the factors involved. He describes tactics and battles in an approachable way but I bet if you plotted it all out in three dimensions, it would check out. His characters are also well fleshed out within the limits of the scanerio and the power politics ... Read More

Rating: - Not great writing, but entertaining
Similar in plot and structure to the last three books. The love triangle between Geary and the two women in his life is becoming a bit of a soap. However, Campbell has found a formula and is sticking to it. good for him!

Rating: - The Plot, like the Fleet, goes lumbering on

Rating: - Does what it says on the tin
OK, so you aren't going to have this bound in hand-tooled calfskin to reread.

But I've been out in the galaxy for a few hours-is there another sinister enemy? How is the fleet going to get home/tackle baddies/survive? People inside the fleet are posing difficulties...

I'm totally hooked.
