What I was looking for: Gripping, fastpaced sci-fi adventure. What I got instead: Lots of religious babble that was so mindnumbing that I barely even noticed the few times the story segued into an underwhelming action sequence.
Genius 'military' type, who's 500(?) yrs old, is a merc, gets job saving angels and .... Does he get it done? Can't say, would be a spoiler. But I can say is the story is about a very old, sad, repetitive occurrence of man, religion and war. With way too much religion for me.
Reading this frustrated me a bit as I look for mil SciFi and I get a story where someone watched a few movies or read some books for their military insights. The inconsistencies just pile up -- don't believe author knows difference between a fire tm, squad, platoon and I'll stop there. He threw in 'cool' weapons but in doing so created inconsistency. The method genius uses to counter a million to 1 disadvantage is ... Disheartening --- NBC. And this has a lot of religious overtones thru out. The good guys use WMD? Come on. And MC has robotic pillboxes and a host of other weapons, if intelligently applied to counter 'threat'. Nuke em!
I got confused to 'his universe' as author used planets, implying origin of characters but then characters had earth type accents and just switched around from Florida to Texas to Planet X, Y, Z.
Amazon special at $0.0 and can't recommend to spend money to go any further. The one question by the end -- are the angels really Angels.
