science-serious, fun and marines too! “Shiny”
Looking Glass Series, - Reviewing the four book series overall.
Authors, check out their Bio on Wikipedia - John Ringo (military) and Travis S. Taylor (science)
1, I like character development - introduced to main characters with added characters as the books develop naturally. Minor characters come forward eventually and others step back, its a good dance.
2, Repartee perfect, not just cliches, witty and fun.
3. Science - real and a whole lot of theory … and good fictional of course, which makes things entertaining - but your eyes may become glazed over on the exhaustive science - but efforts are made to make things understandable, and you wonder BS baffles brains? But no worries, it is Science Fiction after all.
4. Steeping realistic elements with fiction gives the story the verisimilitude which grounds all of the above.
5. Great military, arm forces structures, colloquial and slang language, expectancies and action well-choreographed and including the aftermath …feel for the fallen.
6. Narration sound levels for screams etc. can be sometimes hard on the ears, but overall good
L J Ganser - wonderful voices and “he gets it” - he can carry a southern accent and parlance just fine
7. Yup I gave the series 5 Star across the board. Shiny!

Is this a great book?
No, no it’s not.
Is this a good sci-fi, no brain required book?
Absolutely.
One of those books you can listen to and not have to think too hard about with a lot of creativity from the author. Worth the time and I’ll be reading the next in the series.
I can never resist a book with Space Cats.
