Review

On narrator
5= good read speed, good pronunciation, appealing voice/voices.
4= an issue with one of the above
3= many issues
1-2 I couldn’t finish because of his voice

Story
5= good plot, keeps my attention, it doesn’t ramble along, good character development
The rest follows a similar to narrator

Likes
1- doesn’t have so many characters that it ends up hard to keep track of them.
2- the first half was really slow and that’s where most of my issues crept up. After I got through that it really started picking up.
3-again I acknowledge that as a former Marine and techno nerd I can be overly critical on tech and military stuff.

Issues

So I’m a former Marine and I’m going to look at military things and specifically Marine things different.

1- the author calls their weapon an h16 I can’t figure out where the h comes from. With the modern military m is for military issue. X is for experimental. Exceptions to this are naval vessels and military aircraft.
2- none of the Marines show any sort of military bearing. But this is a group of thieves so mileage may vary.
3- Marines travel on naval vessels. A drop ship might be piloted by Marines… but an interplanetary vessel would be naval.
4- even with the few characters he has it’s hard to care about the characters.
5- unless his suit has a hacking feature it takes more than 2 seconds. If his suit does add it to the book
