If you can get past the concept of siege warfare in the far future, this ispretty fun. I thought the beginning is a bit disappointing, as the imperialforces are nothing more than overconfident, bumbling idiots, but thebalance shifts a bit as they gain their footing. The writing is prettystraightforward, and cliches abound (including a few that will makeyou cringe), but the action is brisk, and unrelenting.
