vertis reviewed Earth Rising by Jeffrey Kafer
Review of 'Earth Rising' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
Terrible
This book and to a lesser extent the two before it are fairly terrible examples how to write a novel.
Abort. Do not buy this book or series.
So many plot holes and inconsistencies. Repetitive bad dialog.
I started out liking the characters in the first book, and they struggled to move from 18 year old civilian to soldier.
By the middle of book 2 it had started going off the rails. Evil stupid commanders and unexplainable scenarios.
This book is worse though. Even if you set aside all of the above you end up with stupidly implausible. Everyone else died assaulting the planet, but we just happened to succeed.
Oops turns out the whole war was a lie. Wife trapped must sacrifice billions to save her.
Absolute horse @#%!
