“A war’s not won the day it breaks out.”

Wow. Intense Space fight. I had no idea i could like military sci-fi.

I like the themes this one tackles: disability, PTSD, the wear and tear of technological advancement, the way humans struggle to keep up with Things™️.

I’ve reconnected with the book after pausing for almost two weeks. And i think we may have aliens. Aliens!

We have our ragtag group of misfits together. Now, let’s go and save a planet!

This came in my ABOS sci-fi/fantasy box, and I fully intended DNF-ing this after 50 pages since military space operas usually aren’t my thing AND I didn’t want to commit to another book series consisting of big, door-stopping chonkers.
Now here I am, liking it 76 pages in, already a fan of the living legend main character and his new sidekick, a disabled man with chronic pain.
