This is a book that you either "get" or you don't; if you don't, you will hate it. It is intentionally kitschy and imitates the pulp sci fi of the 1940s and 50s, only updated for the new century. It is definitely a guilty pleasure to read. If you are looking for hard science fiction, military science fiction, or serious fantasy, this book is definitely NOT it. The plot is wooden, the science is lame -- as in there isn't any. It is as bad as leaping off a space ship and being able to breath on Mars, but it is fun if you have a sense of humor and especially if you ever lived in L.A.

This was a very readable book, with very
likable characters and a very improbable premise. But, J.D. Austin makes the story parts fit together well, and it ends up being believable. It is a story of war and occupation on the planet Thradon, and a story of a female Thradonese general, Ket Mhulhar, who escapes to Earth in a surgically modified Terran body, is rescued by a wealthy retired couple, and falls in love with their son Bobby, a film director. The action keeps moving, so it is hard to put the book down. What really makes the book work is the characters: so likable you want to be in their circle of friends. A good book.

This one is for those with a sense of humor who don't take things too seriously. Read t for what it is:escapist fantasy and pulp fiction. Enjoy
