Gunpowder Moon

by David Pedreira

Dechert could picture General Trayborr rallying his troops for the coming assault, telling them that he regretted what was to come even as he inhaled the intoxicant of war that every field commander privately indulges in. How can you despise the genesis of your profession?

This shows the writers view on the world. It added nothing except to cement in the readers mind the last 2 chapters of similar drivel about soldiers.

Missiles certainly were.

Example of the authors writing. This is the whole sentence.
