Only part of a larger story. Somehow it doesn't feel like great literature.

This is not a story about the USMC. However, it is a story about what are arguably the spiritual heirs to much of their proud Marine tradition, many centuries hence. And it was written by two U.S. citizens, so it seems a safe bet to say that their depiction of "good Marines" and that how they behave in times of adversity is heavily influenced by the authors' knowledge of the history and traditions of the United States Marine Corps.

I am a huge fan of Weber s Honor Harrington series, read them all and eagerly await the next. It looks like this volume is the start of a new series, there is already a second volume available in paperback which I enjoyed and a third in hardback. I wholeheartedly approve. This book is well written, with an interesting world and well developed characters. It is a mix of a military tale with a travel tale, a group of human soldiers traveling across a foreign and barely known world with the odd battle along the way. This series is co-written by John Ringo, an author with whom I am unfamiliar but.
