Military reality in detail, in as real a world as you can have in a work of fiction. Second in a trilogy; at a minimum a trilogy. I usually roll my eyes in frustration when I discover the book I just finished is the first in a multi-volumn set. Some make me hope there's more to come. The story of Prince Roger is one of those.
as good as the first of the series.. very very good read!
Sequel to March Upcountry-2nd of 4 in series-very solid military sf
excellent series, very good characters, make you care about them
