Customer Reviews

Low-tech fun

While I don't entirely disagree with the (thus far only) other reviewer, I'm certain that he's too harsh.I hang out with steam-engine & model-railroading fans -- as in the root word FANATICS. I not only immediately recognized how the particular brand of delightful lunacy these people have was perfectly ( & lovingly) captured by Schenck, but recognized much of the bickering, word-for-word.This book is very literally unique, a delightful & light-hearted (yet entirely serious) piece of speculative present-day military fiction. Got a couple hours to fill? Need a good read for your next airline flight? This book will do nicely, & you won't come away feeling as though you've wasted the time.
