      OK, but could probably have been better if I had read the other books of the serie first.
    • 3/5
      the cover originally turned me off. there's a picture of two men, one in army mottled green camouflage, standing next to another man in a roman classical armor, with the distinctive horsehair mohawk. the blurb wasn't much of an encouragement either. but there , so despite a lot of misgivings, i gave it a chance. I don't know how much my expectations played into this. I didn't expect much from Storms of Victory so when it surpassed those meager expectations, my estimation of the book went up. Or, it could be that i'm just holding a grudge because it proved me wrong. It's not great literature, but neither is it bad. that doesn't sound right either. i think---i think i mean to say it's not a lazy piece of work. the authors put a lot of work into their work. the characters are interesting. oh wait. Storms of Victory is about a planet that's kind of like a personal drug plantation. every couple of centuries or so, they take humans to farm the place. so there are scythians, chariot-riding people from before the classical age, roman centurions, vikings, celtic knights in the tradition of the round table, and now, vietnam-era us soldiers. so there's a powder-keg society that, every time it reaches a kind of equilibrium, a spark is introduced in the form of new technologies (such as wheel, writing, stirrups, horses, germ theory, guns), religions (roman christianity and the newer liberation christianity; oddly enough, no islam or judaism), and economics (...uh? feudalism replaced by merchantilism followed by capitalism?) and politics (chaos, opportunity, and power). so if you're looking for a light read and are willing to suspend belief, then give storm of victory a try. it's more like a pop-corn flick than godfather.
