A review by rogue_runner
Orphanage by Robert Buettner

4.0

Soldier-based scifi with lots of parallels to earth wars, but against slugs, rather than people. A lot of other reviews compare this to 'Starship Troopers' (which is on the to-read shelf). A couple of the twists were fairly predictable, but the writing was interesting enough to keep reading, and although Jason was a little unlikeable at times, he's a good enough protagonist to enjoy the book as a whole.
