I really enjoyed the first few books of the series: interesting premise, good characters, good military fiction. Alas, now it has become a question of how many more volumes the author can get out of this series to keep the money flowing. 80% of this book is logistics, with 10% forwarding the plot and 10% appendix. The logistics could easily have been improved by maps which showed the areas in better detail. I was constantly referring to maps that did not show the location of the current action. I long for a book with an ending, and feel ripped off reading a story in installments. In the case of this book, there was even less plot or character progression than the last . This author can and should do better.

Based solely on the rest of the series, it can't be worth paying a premium price for this book. Certain to feature some great battle sequences, but wait for the bargain rack.
