I thought after reading the first book in the series that this was going to be a pretty good series. The first L.Ron Hubbard book that I read was Battlefield Earth and I absolutely loved it, however this series took a terrible down fall after the first book. It just got stupid. There isn't anyone who is going to always defy the odds like Heller does. I didn't like that and I think the series won't hold my attention to read any more in the series.Sincerely, A very honest critic
