In other news, just finished 'Against All Enemies', the military legal sci-fi by John G. Hemry. I actually liked it pretty dang well. You see, military sci-fi is one of my guilty pleasures. It's a guilty pleasure because, for the most part, the people who write military scifi have worldviews that are pretty diametrically opposed to my own, with a whole different set of assumptions about humanity and society. I get the feeling, though, based on both 'Against all Enemies', and 'The Lost Fleet', a series he writes under another name, that Mr. Hemry's worldview is a lot closer to my own. Which is something new and strange.
I would recommend the book, but only mildly. For one, it's the fourth in a series, and while you do not need the others to understand what's going on (I read it without them), I would imagine it helps you understand some of the more subtle relationship play that goes on. Additionally, it's very much a relationship and procedural based book; there is /very/ little here that required the science fiction setting, and no real surprises. Despite that, it kept my attention pretty well, and if I occassionally rolled my eyes at some of the dialogue or phrasing, it wasn't all /that/ often, and Hemry does a good job of making military regs and laws seem easy to understand (in so far as is required to follow the plot). I give it a solid B.
Now, however, I am forced to wonder if the G stands for Geary.
