2.0 out of 5 stars
A cavalcade of cliches...but not un-entertaining,
By
This review is from: Soleil: Universal War One - Volume 1 (v. 1) (Hardcover)
This book is deeply generic and full of obvious tropes -- hard-bitten soldiers in space, in the midst of the usual inner system vs. outer system civil war, are dealing with a suddenly-appearing black wall in space. Even more generically, they're a "purgatory squadron" -- made up of court-martialed officers (each for some very distinct failing that serves as each one's only personality trait), led by the un-respected daughter of a great (tough, hard-bitten, unbending...add your cliche here) military leader, who is also nearby.
There's the usual adventure-SF mix of tough-talking, vaguely enigmatic alien artifacts, punch-em-ups, and fighters banking in space as they dogfight. If you're the kind of person who can take any of that seriously, it could be a rousing story; it all looks very shiny and dramatic, and the dialogue only induces actual cringes a couple of times.
