Not so good.
I am hard pressed to understand how this book got the reviews it received. The first 150 pages or so is boring. Yes it contains probably well researched and well conceived narrative about military life, but who cares.
The action sequences against the Skinks (the bad aliens) are very predictable.
Skip it.

Aaaaaaahh. These guys continue their saga, building on what has gone before to create another exciting, detailed, action-packed story. And the set-up at the end makes it pretty clear that more is coming.
I've thoroughly enjoyed this entire series to date.
What will I read now, while I wait for the next one?

David Sherman and Dan Cragg know what they are doing. The plot, characters and writing of this book are well developed and will hold your attention throughout your literary experience with the book.
Go ahead and pick up the book. You'll enjoy it.

I know that I have read this book before but I can't remember when or why.
Anyway, this is another account of the Marines engaging the Skinks on a planet called Haulover.
It reads pretty well except for the authors continuing insanity of using stupid names for most everything not directly associated with the Marines. This makes his books seem childish and appear that very little time or effort was spent on anything but the Marine experience.
I'm going to read More...
