5.0 out of 5 stars Frezza's best, September 12, 2002

This is the first of three novels. The story line is beleivable and well crafted. The main characters are very life like and I found myself identifying with them at once. The action and environment is remarkably well written. You find yourself wishing that the book was twice as long so that you could spend more time with each of the main characters. Be advised that this is not happy-ever-after material. In my opinion this story is the best literary effort of Frezza and is a must read for any serious military sci-fi reader

5.0 out of 5 stars Speaking as a veteran..., February 1, 2004

This review is from: A Small Colonial War (Mass Market Paperback)

Superb military SF, but also a book I recommend to people that want to try and understand something about the military life and war in general. Frezza did something with this book that is rare, it made me truly care for the characters and feel sad about the ones who died - on all of the sides. Superb.

I like the David Drake military SF books very much. Frezza's trilogy is as good as any of DDs, but intended, I think, for the reader who has not only served in a special outfit, but has studied the art and history of warfare - a much smaller and more sophistocated audience. I have read them three or four times and will again. Enjoy.
