Battle at the Moons of Hell by Graham Sharp Paul

I liked this book, but there were some problems with it. First and worst, was that I found the battle scenes tedious and confusing to read. If you want a really good space battle read David Weber's Honor Harrington novels. I also didn't really care all that much about Michael Helfort. His character was sort of flat. The last thing I didn't care for in this book was the direction it went in, the initial set up of the book didn't really mean anything. We start out with our hero taking the blame for something and it didn't really affect him. The author never really goes back to it, and it doesn't seem to be a driving force for the character. Now this was still a fun read and I enjoyed it, there are just better examples of this genre out there.

Rating: 3 stars

Recommendations: Read Weber's Honor Harrington books, the first one is On Basilisk Station. They are great!
