Tonight’s book review is brought to you buy Segram’s Dry Gin, Schwepps Tonic water, and a couple drops of lime juice 
Oh, and about 4 hours less sleep because I couldn’t put the book down to actually go to bed last night which made my day job that much more challenging.
As the cover will tell you, this book smacks hard of the writing style of Robert Heinlein (Starship Troopers) which actually made it that much more entertaining for me. Why? Well, I’ve never read Starship Troopers, but I saw the movie. And as I read this book I had that movie’s pace playing in my mind. Fit like a glove. Fortunately, all female (green skinned) references did not invoke the image of Denise Richards in my mind but instead the Orion chicks out of Star Trek.
You got stereotypical military experience made complete with a hard ass (you all are dip shits!) drill sergeant, relationship bonds made through shared conflict, lost love, lots of free love, alien ass kicking, and a feeling that you are but a pawn in the grand scheme of things.
Now, let us say that you have been given a computer that runs in your head. This is your personal pager, text messager, and for lack of anything better personal assistant. What name would you use? My first choice was Bob. Our main character thought Asshole was the most fitting. This cracked my ass up in so many ways that I had to give my wife an explanation as to why I couldn’t quit laughing.
So anyway, for those of you who dig an entertaining quick sci-fi read, I highly recommend. I’d also recommend this to you who like Glen Cook’s Black Company trilogy.
