Agamedes' opinion: 6 out of 10

Somewhere near the start of this book I was reminded of L.Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth... you just know that the Earthman is going to defeat the aliens with their high technology and low intelligence. Sure enough -- he did. But he did it with Star Wars sociology: a mixture of alien allies (antisocial types who fall for the Earthman's charisma), each with different strengths. Ah well. Cliched but a lot of fun.
