  Mixed feelings about an excellent novel
  
  I've bought and read all eight of the very well-written books from this series. As a physicist and sci-fi fan, I give it two very big thumbs up. As a former Marine (never ex-Marine), I love the characters.
  
  BUT, as a Christian, I take exception to the condescending and twisted view that the author has of faith. It is not that he simply slides in an unintended reference to his own atheistic (or naturalistic?) viewpoint; he goes to great lengths to first create his own alternative story of creation, and then use his fictional history to prove the idiocy of those who believe in a Christian God. He does also explore the beliefs of wickens and other pagan belief systems, but those, he seems to feel, are reasonable in that they make the character feel good about their world.
  
  I don't expect science fiction to support or encourage belief. This author, though, consciously ridicules belief and presents a corrupt and twisted church. As a scientist, I am often amazed at how many "intellectuals" assume that science disproves Christianity, or even that to pursue science requires one to first deny the existence of God. Yet I know so many physicists, biologists, and engineers who are among the most brilliant men and women I know who are convinced our faith and scientific pursuits are totally complimentary.
  
  Why then, do I still give the book four stars? Because it is a very well-written space opera.

  Can't wait for the last book
  
  I have pre-ordered the last book and can't wait for it to arrive on my porch. I am a big fan of combat sci-fi and know of no other book or series of books that can match it. If you are planning on buying this book and haven't read the rest of them (including the 1st set) I strongly reccomend you get the other ones 1st!

  Getting Better with Each book
  
  I have read the entire series so far and this was the best of the lot. I was a bit nervous because most second novels in a trilogy are usually flat. Not this one! I have enjoyed the mix of warefare and politics in the other books and this brought it further.
  
  The XUL were more fleshed out and the ending was interesting. I am excited about the next book.
  
  Read this and you will not be disappointed.

  Get all 9 Books
  
  I'm new to the field of reading, since I haven't picked up a book in over 20 yrs. But after the Jumper series I've been sticking with series books. Ian Douglas has a nice series going. Even though I was Air Force (in my younger yrs) I find it easy to get behind the charictors and feel pride in what they accomplish. I've still got the last of the series to finish, but I'm finding it easy to stay with it. I like it.
