Mil-SF brigade want a home, so they defend a planet in return for citizenship but have to overcome a bunch of pirates and corporate issues to do so. MccAffery did it much better with Freedom's Landing, but it remains a weak idea to hang a central plot around. This lot are ex-Marines and the planet is the sole source of a rare mineral. But it's owned by a corporation who discovered it and the present tennents are close to failing to meet their rent. The Brigade steps in to help. Kills a bunch of people, attacks various companies and generally raises havoc before returning to their new home. Very very flat. One dimensional characters. You can tell the author was trying to inject some personality but it just didn't work at all. There was also several instances of particular dislike of mine - cutting away to the big enemy and revealing all his plans to the reader when the characters don't know them. This is just annoying and unnecessary, doesn't aid characterisation unless a lot more time is spent with the bad side, breaks the suspension of disbelief, and is just generally poor plotting. Meh. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
A band of mercenaries faces off with invading aliens in this novel by the New York Times-bestselling author of the America Rising series. Colonel Stell and his band of mercenaries yearn for a place to call home. To them Freehold is like a bright diamond in the vast universe. But its desert conditions, economic instability, social disarray, and political turmoil render the planet perfect for takeover. Willing to fight anything that stands in their way, Colonel Stell and his small crew contend with all who seek to dominate their planet, even vast interstellar empires. Their success will not be determined by their size but by their resolution to create a home for themselves. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

That said, it’s well done, with characters that go beyond stereotype and plenty of action.
