I downloaded this to my Android and used the kindle reader. Came nicely formatted and was a quick but difficult read. Quick because I thought it was entertaining. I enjoyed the plot, followed the story well and liked where it is going. I will probably read the next in the series when I can get it. That said, I agree with earlier comments that it still needs a lot of editing. There were typos and syntax errors every few pages. It distracted me from the story many times and I had to fight through it to the end. I'm not an English major by any standard and a few errors can be easily overlooked. This goes way beyond a few.Product details

No Rules Of Engagement Alexander Hawk Novel Thomas D Wilson Jo Murphey Michael Hays 9781466275379 Books Reviews
First of all I'm trying to figure out what genre to put this in. Sci-fi, absolutely. YA...not in my opinion. There is an 8 year old smoking ciggs and then other kids start smoking, plus he and his group are then talking about how he has girlfriend and if he is gonna get laid (this part may put him at 9 or 10 years old). If this is supposed to be YA for under 14 I just don't find that appropriate (and btw, I am single with no kids and over 25, but I do have a 13 year old brother). I recognize that my brother, at 13, would understand that this is fiction but I believe these topics with such a young child as the main character should not be in a YA book. The synopsis for this book led me to believe it would be a YA sci-fi book which is why I'm bringing this concern up.
Moving on to the other issues I had
AGE
it was stated that they wanted the kids to be at their prime of 18 for when they finally fought. Okay fine, but having the main kid be 8, I get it super smart for his age, but couldn't you have had him be at least 10? the other kids are already around 12-13, was it necessary for the main kid to be 4 years younger?
the editing for the .mobi version which is the one I downloaded was all messed up and it was very distracting.
The following sentences are examples
--How did rate getting put in charge? (Really? I didn't know we had anybody that young on the ship, much less in charge of it. How did rate getting put in charge? Do you know somebody?)
--Can ask you a question?
--It always won't be this way, so take advantage of it.
-a spelling error here and there
POSSIBLE HARD TO UNDERSTAND CONCEPT
If a person wasn't raised on military language some of the concepts may be hard to understand. Including the part where he is talking about dress right dressing and parade rest. These concepts are hard to picture in your head if you don't know what they are and I don't believe people without military backgrounds or watch/read military movies/books are going to understand this.
THE STORY
For the type of book this is, a sci-fi military book, then this is a decent book. I have read other sci-fi books with military involvement and have enjoyed them, but for some reason I didn't enjoy this one. There was too much military attack procedures and planning and battle tactics, get to the f*g point already. We got it, they trained in simulators and they got hurt in the physical simulators. There is battle planning, got it...it took too long to get to the real battles, I started skipping battle training parts. The simulated battles were cool, but there weren't enough of them. Lastly, I didn't like the concept of including the bible as a present to the aliens...I think it was too soon and a bit contrived. I do read books with religious concepts too, like all of Ted Dekker, but at that point in the story it just felt all wrong and set up specifically to do that, so forced.
The book is just more planning and talking and not enough of the action sequences. There were some and those parts I liked, but I just didn't like reading this book.
While the story was alright, the book ended with out an ending. It basically just stopped. I know its part of a series but really? IT ENDED WITHOUT ANY ENDING. It was cheap though so I will consider getting the next book.
This book is not only an amazing read but it makes you want the next book to some out faster so you can see what happens next
I normally do not read science fiction but decided to read this and WOW! It was hard to put down and when I did I couldn't wait to pick it up again. If you like science fiction or even if you do not I would encourage you to give this a try!! An excellent read! I look forward to the next in the series.
Good read. Entertaining. I would like to read more but it has been years so I wonder what happened to sequel?
i really loved this book....have been waiting long time for sequel
