Uninspired military Sci-Fi. Its perfectly readable but its bland and I could honestly care less about the characters. Mediocrity at its best. There is so much better Sci-Fi out there that even reading this as a time waster just seems pointless.

I gave each book 4 stars on their own but as a series they rate five stars. There is not a weak link in the series. Each book is strong on its own merit but because of the integrity of the series I would give first three six stars if I could.

Книгата е сборник от 3 кратки военни романа.

След като приключих и трите, разликата между тях е като тази между Ендер и Говорителя от името на мъртвите. Екшънът е в първата част, а следващите две задълбават в духовните въпроси, магията, пророчествата, любовта и всичко останало, което обикновено не съществува във военната фантастична опера.

Първата част е 5/5, другите са по-слаби. Като цяло приятен сборник, мисля че си струва да се прочете. Не съм 100% сигурен за втория сборник, ще го обмисля.

This book is not for everyone, but is enjoyable in its ways. This is an old school military scifi book with plenty of action and near the end of the book there is a decent amount of political intrigue, but any literary snob would hate this book. There is no deep message, and it will never reveal the meaning of life but it is a rip roaring good time. The characters are ok. Although through Mr. Ingrid's abilities the characters are likable that does not stop the desire to slap them for their idiocy from time to time. the book is good, but I must stress again not for everyone.

Книгата се състои от три части, като първата е доста интересна, а останалите две - толкова невъобразимо скучни, че последната не можах да я довърша. Авторът май така и не е разбрал, че когато човек захване да чете книга за войни, иска да чете за войни, иска битки и стрелба, а не миньорство, некоя и друга плоска интрижка и "нагнетяване на напрежение" което нищо не нагнетява, освен досада.

very nice trio of books. Can't wait for the next three.
