For me the three stars typed between "scenes" took some time for understanding just what was meant by the gap between scenes; maybe it's usual in other media, such as writing for movies, I don't know. But the writing is so good, it's stronger than a camera would be and it would be too bad to lose it. I was trying as an exercise for myself to think of words which could create a transition between "scenes", but they shrank the effect of the "scenes" juxtapositions. Maybe one of the new media combining imagery and movement on the electronic page along with the centrality of the written words would carry the reader easily and speedily along with the story's violent spin and might be considered as one solution by such talents as Ty Johnston.

I read a lot of military SF, and I think the story had a fresh twist. Nice concept. I read a lot of military SF, and I think the story had a fresh twist.
