While many people are quite dismissive of military sci-fi I’m quite fond of it and when I came across Steel Breach I thought it would be a nice easy read for commuting and with a bit of luck would not be so badly written as to be unreadable (this can be a problem with cheap military scifi).
What I can report back is that this book is well written, it’s enjoyable and I’d quite happily read more in the series or other books by the author.
It’s not going to win any awards for originality as it’s a semi feudal system of humans fighting against personality free insects while a greater danger lurks unknown. However, I don’t think that’s a terrible problem as the elements fit well together and allow for a decent story.
