Is it me?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Liutenant Colonel (Paperback)
I continue to find Shelley's writing stilted, his characters wooden, his science uncompelling and his plots trivial. Any number of military SF writers do a more compelling job: Weber, Moon, Drake, Dickson, Pournelle - even Roland Green. Shelley seems to have taken a basic course in expository writing and over time his ability to infuse characters with complex emotions, conveyed in some way other than baqld narrative, has remained static. This is a book in which the author neither challenges himself nor his readers.

Another Hit for the Saga of the DMC by Shelley.,
This review is from: Liutenant Colonel (Paperback)
Lieutenant Colonel is another hit story in Rick Shelleys' sage of Lon Nolan in the DMC. Personally I love the way Shelley has blended Lon's thoughts, fears and feelings in Lt. Col. Esp. in this novel than out of all the rest of the sersis, you can see the changes brought about by the many years of battle and war. Shelley has masterfully composed another moving and exciting novel in the DMC world. I feel Shelley has put more than just technical knowledge and combat tactic's into this novel but more into the hearts and minds of the charaters aswell. I salute you Shelley and I can't wait to get my hands on the upcoming novel of Colonel. Trust me, if you like Science Fiction and a action packed, action adventure, with a full twist of charater thought and emotion in a futuristic setting. Pick up Lieutenant Colonel and sit down for and hour or two. I'm sure you won't regret it.

Field Grade blues,
This review is from: Liutenant Colonel (Paperback)
As a Lt Col myself I can appreciate the hero's dilemmas. If you screw up, others are going to eat it big. I've enjoyed the series, and am wondering how soon he'll pin on 0-6. The hero does spend a lot of time agonizing over his thought processes. He should be more confident of his abilities, otherwise he shouldn't wear the rank. The one book, one rank option will limit itself. I'm sure there were other missions he could have done as, say, a Captain. You generally do not get promoted after a small campaign. Overall good series, the author does have a good understanding of the military community.
