A review by plbmso
Earth Strike by Ian Douglas

4.0

I am growing more and more fond of Ian Douglas's work. I love the star corpsman series and I really enjoyed this book. I can get buried in details about star drives, singularities and their use in gravitic drive assemblies, etc. And I love discussions about GRIN (genetics/robotics/information/neural nets?) and mankind approaching a technological singularity (evolution of advancement) and how an alien race might be nervous about us approaching that point. But most of all I enjoy the growth in a young man, how he mixes his fears, his enthusiasms, loves and dedication to chart a course forward. Lieutenant Grey is hero I enjoyed reading about. and I will continue following his stories.
