The Infinity Brigade #1 Stone Cold

Mediocre, boringI bailed somewhere between 16% and 20% into the book. The background that makes the first pages of the book not seem crazy is missing. You cannot understand what's happening if you haven't read the other series novels. I didn't because I hadn't.There were no memorable characters and it was degenerating into another "aren't U.S. marines wonderful" story. Training wasn't easy!!! Surprise. Marines don't recruit men and women, they recruit "guys and gals". Maybe it's just me but that

First book in the series I have read. The book has good potential, unfortunately I think it will take a great editor to help it reach that potential. I found it read like a slightly watered down Starship Troopers, if the main character in ST was obsessed with his own brilliance, perfect physique, superiority over all including his instructors etc, and had a nonstop internal monologue congratulating himself.. Perhaps it would appeal to some people as written, judging from the ratings it is doing

I enjoy books where training to get skills is part of the subject. Boot camp for AG Stone and his mates was well described and the details of the weapons and other items were explained in a way that made sense to me. The first-person point-of-view immersed one into the story. There was always an exciting moment where something happened and the action kept on coming.Looking forward to the next book in the series.
