This book, like almost all of John Ringo's books I have read, is very good right up to the end. It does have its flaws, such as an extraordinary amount of exposition and the need to spend four years at a military academy to follow some of the battles. However to me the hardest part to get past are the endings. This book, like others, doesnt so much end as it does just stop. There is no wrap up, there is no resolution,there is just THE END.
