Spectre's Review
Oh, boy. Don't waste your time with this one. The book is not very well written, and it
has way to much made up stuff, lame names, bad plot segues, and just a mess of
literature in most forms. However, I did enjoy some of the battle sequences, although
Rick Shelley's series has the best battle sequences I've come across as far as infantry
is concerned. Not much else to say about this one, except don't read it, unless you're
looking for a good example of what not to do with your own book.

Minus two points for poor literary merit. Minus one point for lame character names.
Minus one point for lame fictitious military terms. Minus two points for too much
sex and senseless plot sidelines. Minus one point for unrealistic characters.
