    <body><![CDATA[This book (the first in a trilogy, which is also collected in an omnibus) is interesting to me primarily for its description of the main character's military training.  The author is a former Marine, and as such, her creation of a female warrior has more credibility than most.  However, as technical...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26156948">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A good solid start to Elizabeth Moon's first series.  Not as mature a writing style as the later SF bookes, but still a good read.
