Expsnsive storylines and new acquaintances.
I felt that the book was worthy of 5*s inspite of the almost total absence of proper editing and proofreading. This is an ongoing problem with the whole series. You often have to read and extrapolate to get the point of the sentence.
The wars that Star Force is engaged in have become vast and complex . This book cobbled together all of the different locations, with insight via a large range of races and SF commandos and archons.
While Paul and the other Trailblazers remain the bones of the story, we are given whole chapters were the protagonists show us the way things are going on the front lines.
Character development continues for the primary characters as we get a greater understanding of the way they think.

I know I said I wouldn't return to this series, and this particular installment has already made me regret doing so (due to the unrelenting homophobia, re: the arc-commandos nudity scene). Frankly, this is the fast food of science fiction and it's provided my brain a much needed break from more serious, more substantial authors like Charles Stross. I appreciate the continued diversification of Star Force's ranks as the empire expands and covers contingencies, even if the people in those new divisions are nothing but convenient mouthpieces for the author's own nonsense biorealism ideals. Also, vaguely interesting direction for the war efforts. I like to see the new combo tech (the crystal modular stuff, the new skeets, etc).
New rating for this series reflects authorial abuses.

Worse yet
Really, free use? Yet another hugely boring repetitive space battle, now even larger than before, bigger things, and more of them, much bigger booms, perfect solders with narry a thought in their heads but never ending war, never dying, never supposed to relax, eat, drink, share intimately with another human. Just train and kill for millena in seclusion. And this time we learn if you are a certain subsect you get sexy time! Woo! Scheduled rota included. No love, just schedule. Literally 3/4 of this book is useless dogeral that a good editor world have discarded, wild number of misspellings and poor word choices. I have set myself the goal of wading through this missive, but man my page skipping counts are getting to book fractions.

Just finished my 19fh Book
Very interesting blend of SyFy and actual potential science. I intend on reading the entire series of books and am interested in what other books the author wrote. In this latest book I only member seeing 3 grammatical and wrong word being used. The small number of mistakes is a good thing. I have seen a number of books that had so many errors I stopped reading.
Might need an editor who does not rely heavily on auto spell corrections or have the editor go through with auto spell and then reread the book!

More action, bigger battles.
It's more of the same formula, struggle hard for mental upgrades (nice trick on doing them piggy back), more combat with the lizards. Darn, I had a marvelous comment on the nude training, of everything I've lost over the years, I miss my mind the most. Knew I should have wrote it down.

How to take a stronghold
With the Zoko and others helping the Lizard’s span of control are almost cut in two
It takes the taking of a primary supply system to do it
Star Force did it by themselves
Then additional contributor to the lizard fight show up and are probably one of the rumored five factions of a race that they know

Better the second time through!
The star force series is without a doubt the most complicated story i've ever read, And by far the best. It's even better on the second read through.

Not Improving
The quality of the edits has not improved with many poor word choices in this book. Additionally some poorly constructed sentences have started to appear. Still waiting for improvement.

Another entertaining read
If this is to end at 100 the next 24 are going to have to be amazing! More of the same but enough different to not be boring.

Lizard whooping.
Curious to know what happened to the singer. Always winning curious if that will end. Will there be more back stabbing? Remains a steady interesting read,.

The best ending surprise!
I can't believe that this series has given me a surprise ending like this before. And not as a cliffhanger! A fan.

Continuing
Ongoing read which I continue to enjoy. This is the 19th book out of 84. So I will continue to read as long as I am able.

This one centered on training and a large decades long war with the lizards.
