Where's the action?
This book started well with Gunny Bass returning to the 34th FIST but it trails off from there. There was very little combat and when there was, it was very sporadic.The dialogue and the innards of the Marine relationships was outstanding as always, but I felt that the perspectives were too diluted. The point of view seemed to come from every single fire team leader, squad leader, platoon leader. It made the whole story, well boring.I would have given it 3 stars but I've also compared it with the other books in the series and that is why I've dropped it down to 2 stars.I will continue to read this book because I feel a major conflict brewing between the 34th FIST and the SKINKS.
