Agamedes' opinion: 7 out of 10

In 2009 I wrote:

Resnick has written hundreds of books and short stories, mostly set in his own “Birthright Universe”. This one is military SF... or space opera. Great fun, non-stop adventure with a great hero, insuperable odds and unbelievable plotting. Solid, heroic, well worth reading though not an earth shattering piece of literature.

A second reading gives the same rating -- 7 out of 10.

I also noticed more of the incredibly lucky coincidences, the amazing and instant loyalty, the desire of the hero to do good... The prose is simple. The logic is dubious. The communications technology is simply unbelievable...

Yep, this book is just as enjoyable on the second reading!
