Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This is a 3 stories in one book. Only one of the stories is really good. ( ) The novel is actually composed of 2 very different storylines, extremely loosely connected: 1. A combat military sci-fi about a scout named Felix. This is extremely good and I enjoyed it immensely for its rhythm, grit and realism regarding the stupidity of the brass. The intense battles are reminiscent of the ww1 carnage (unlike Starship Troopers' obvious ww2 inspiration). 5/5 is barely enough for this part. 2. Another storyline about some wiseguy Han Solo type crook and... space pirates. Yes, in a book not from the 1930s,but at the same ridiculous level. This part is terribly boring, ridiculous, unoriginal and riddled with badly written characters. If I could go less than 1/5 I would. So the average is 3, and if the editor kept just half the book (the mil scifi) it would have been a much better decision. I read chapter one, half way through it I realized i no longer had any idea where the book is going. I suspect neither did the author. But I went ahead, got to chapter two and for the first part I thought I was still going to like the book. Half way through the second chapter I realized I no longer have had any clue where the book is going, for a second time. People say the ending is nice. Well, good, but the middle part is an impassable platitude chasm. I had to stop. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

The planet is called Banshee. The air is unbreathable, the water poisonous. It is the home of the most implacable enemies that humanity, in all its interstellar expansion, has ever encountered. Felix is a scout in A-team Two. Highly competent, he is the sole survivor of mission after mission. Yet he is a man consumed by fear and hatred. And he is protected not only by his custom-fitted body armor, the culmination of ten thousand years of the armorers'craft, but also by an odd being which seems to live with him, a cold killing machine he calls "the Engine."
