Publisher Description
FOUR SOLDIERS. ONE WAR.
Asteroid miner Mary Rodrigo and freighter owner Mattim Abeeb are green draftees of the Society of Humanity, forced to fight for Earth—a planet they’ve never even seen.
Major Ray Longknife and his lover, Senior Pilot Rita Nuu, are career soldiers, invested with the cause of the Unity Party—and its ambitious new president.
These four soldiers on opposing sides of the battle are about to discover the true nature of this terrible war: a quest for profit—from the high command of both sides. What they will risk is nothing less than their lives. For although truth may be the first casualty of war, it’s not going to be the last…

The First...
This seems like a very harsh rating for the first book of a relatively long series. My apologies to anyone who may have enjoyed the many books in this series, but I found it quite boring, personally.
It wasn’t badly written. I think the author writes good dialogue and could very easily write a novel I could enjoy.
My problem is that it doesn’t really tell a story. It starts off without any preamble describing action that is incomprehensible. It goes on for many pages describing pointless activities by characters whose motivations, loyalties and antecedents are unknown and very quickly into it, of no real interest to the reader.
Sorry. Just didn’t like it. Won’t buy any more.
