• This book was over before I realized it! Not very often that I get so caught up in a story that I don't realize it's about to end until it does, or that I don't get distracted and put it aside for a couple days while I read something else. It is a military science fiction book - but not so military-based that you're getting descriptions of bullet types and thickness of armor, and not so science fiction that people can walk through walls or be beamed to outer space on command. Some of the aliens are humans (and some of the humans are alien) and all of the social issues are ones you'll recognize. And the solutions to the problems in the story require that people overcome their biases and work together - so it's not really that "far-out-there".I like how the characters are so smoothly written that they feel like real people, with real issues, and real lives. And the aliens and alien (to us) technology is added in as if it is a perfectly normal progression of where we are today... without a lot of lecturing or boring techy-jargon. And, while there is some social justice message in here, it is not preachy at all. I don't have the next book in the series, but plan to get it now - this one ended without a complete resolution and I want to find out how the Cobras overcome their enemy.
