If you haven’t read much military SF then this book is going to seem really great. If you have read several books then you know what will happen in the book. I could see every plot twist as it came along. All the women love our hero, he has loyal friends that he co-ops into his secret mission without bothering to tell them, yet he is clueless about his friends backgrounds even though they have been friends for years in the academy. There is advanced technology that is doled out to the planets by the wise Historians. And yet they are in search of the ancient artifacts that give them access to the Founders technology that they use. The book ends with winning the battle but you can see the long war ahead of them.
