It is very rare that I read a book quickly, choosing instead to take my time and be thoughtful with it. I dipped this one in butter and devoured it. This is all-time, top-5 level quality. It hits on subjects and themes that I love: sci-fi, military, heroic/flawed/”human” protagonist. One scene was so strong for me personally, that I was able to reflect and answer a question I've been pondering about myself for years. The writing style is wonderful and engaging; I was hooked after a few paragraphs. I highly recommend this to anyone with even the slightest predilection for sci-fi. If you enjoy sci-fi plus character relationships, you should love this.
