Book Reviews of A Talent For War
Book Review: Not as good as his later books.
Summary: 3 Stars
I had read all of Jack McDevitt's books that came after this one. In fact, I didn't know this one existed. I really liked the characters in this particular series, so was delighted to discover this book. However, the story was really disjointed and I had to look back several times for different references to follow the plot. It was a good read except for the confusing story. I am thinking that this was one of his first books and wasn't as finely tuned as his later ones. I was glad to have the book because it explained references in the later books in the series.
Summary of A Talent For War
Christopher Sim changed mankind's history forever when he forged a rag-tag group of misfits into the weapon that broke the alien Ashiyyur. But now, one man believes Sim was a fraud, and Alex must follow the legend into the heart of the alien galaxy to confront a truth far stranger than any fiction. Reissue.McDevitt, Jack Books
