Book recommendation: Days of Burning, Days of Wrath (8) (Carrera) by Tom Kratman
The
arrival of a new Kratman book in my mail box means several things. One, I won’t
get enough sleep in the next couple of days. Two, I will leave undone several
things I aught to have done, and three, I will have several hours of pure
reading bliss. I suspect that if you read through all the reviews of his Carrera
series, several will say, “The best book yet.” I will avoid that cliché and
just say each one seems better than the last. Kratman is now the equal of Robert
Heinlein. I finished this book in about 50 hours, but I had medical and work
things that did not admit of postponement.
The
intricacies of the plot, the depth of the characters, and Kratman’s wide understanding
of history and military matters make him the master of this genre. He is a
retired LtCol (USA) with a better grasp of tactics, strategy, weapons, and
human nature than most generals. While this book will stand alone, if you haven’t
read the rest of the series, I urge you to do so. In this book, the good guys
finally go over to the offensive and lay the ground work for taking the fight back
to Earth. Not to be missed.
