I've read all but one Of Leo Frankowski's books, and I've liked them enough that I buy anything new that he writes without thinking twice. But the last two that I have read (The War With Earth and The Fata Morgana) have been far less enjoyable than than the rest.A Boy and His Tank (now renamed: Kren of the Mitchegai) was a much better book (apart from teh ending, which no one likes). So don't just go out and buy this book because you liked that one.My main complaint with this book is that (as other reviewers have pointed out) everything goes so unbelievably in the main character's favor that you read the entire book thinking that the whole thing is just a "dream". Everything just comes too easy.This book just wasn't worth the time to read it. Go buy a different Frankowski book instead.
