I found this book to be quite enjoyable. The story reminds me of Robert A Heinlein’s book, “Revolt in 2100.”

I did start to read it quite tentatively based upon the negative reviews indicating that it was a religious polemic. In fact, it is not. Apparently some reviewers did not understand the central premise that both sides of the issue were strongly religious. The attackers seem to be coming from an Islamic base and their conduct aligned with that tradition. The defenders were coming from a Christian base and consistent with that tradition. It would be ludicrous to expect a person raised within a strong religious tradition not to have moments of recrimination after combat. If you read any actual biographies of those who have faced combat, you will notice that there are moments when you really hope that God is on your side and there are other moments where you wonder whether your decisions were the right ones.

Thanks, John Slack, for the review!
