Summary
Reception
Reception was mixed, with Kirkus Reviews saying, "A premise that had a chance to be compelling is diffused by a momentum-killing willingness to digress. Hunter has done much better."[2] and The Oregonian calling it "a disappointment",[3] while Publishers Weekly gushed that a "solid characterization complements the tight, fast-moving plot." [4]
gollark: Don't like what your army does? Well, wait up to 5 years and then maybe supply about four bits of (binding) information about what you think your government should look like.
gollark: Yes, it's very indirect and not very good, but same with modern "democratic" governments.
gollark: If nobody pays anyone who then pays mercenaries, they won't fight.
gollark: They need money. If nobody pays them money, they won't do anything.
gollark: A private company is "ultimately" controlled by the people too.
