Mankind's first alien contact tears into Earth: projectiles launched from Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, vaporize whole cities. Under siege, humanity gambles on one desperate counterstrike. In a spacecraft scavenged from scraps and armed with Vietnam-era weapons, foot soldiers like eighteen-year-old Jason Wander-orphans that no one will miss-must dare man's first interplanetary voyage and invade Ganymede.
They have one chance to attack, one ship to attack with. Their failure is our extinction.

Orphanage (Jason Wander Series #1)
Another example of a "Starship Trooper" or "Forever War" book. Not bad. I read it through today, so it obviously kept my interest. There were parts that were fantastic, but plot holes you could drive a rocket through.
The descriptions of military life were fantastic. He could have shared my barracks in AIT (Advanced Infantry Training). He obviously spent time in the Army Infantry, likely as an enlisted man. (He probably has that in a bio somewhere, but I haven't gone looking.) His description of the old barracks latrine is just too well done, as were the issues some faced because of them.
Transportation movements didn't grab me though. The logic behind them could have been military, but I would hope not. His take on sexual equality didn't do a lot for me either. Parts were good, but others were illogical.
So I found the book uneven, but entertaining over all. I don't think it is in the same class as the first two books I mentioned, but it's up there with "Armor" & entertaining.
