Ugh. Nasty. Very much a he man militarist womanizer's club SF book that got some undeserved press in my opinion back when it was released. It borrows the trappings of transhumanism, but otherwise ...
Pretty decent story, and I found myself liking it more than I thought I would. The protagonist's adventures do seem to be a little one-sided (he rarely makes a mistake) and I found the last 1/3 of the novel where they are protecting a city to be a bit plodding compared to the first 2/3 of the book. All in all, a good summer read but nothing that is going to win a Hugo or Nebula.
I really liked this. I thought the story was fast-moving and interesting. I look forward to reading another by this author. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys sifi. I'd put this up next to the first Halo book.
