Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The riveting edge of your seat sequel to One Day On Mars once again takes us on a blindingly fast pace through events from a futuristic Washington D.C. to the Tau Ceti star system. Just days before the presidential election a CIA operative uncovers a plot to overthrow America that reaches deep into the government. To top it off, the forces planning to revolt have somehow developed a technology that allows them to transport across the gulf between the star systems almost instantaneously.
The CIA operative braves hand-to-hand combat and even torture in order to get a warning of the coming coup to American officials while at the same time the two most powerful battleships in the U.S. Space Navy are dispatched to overtake the enemy teleportation technology. With armored marines, intense space naval battles, fighter plane, and high technology wizardry perhaps the plot to kill the president can be thwarted. But will that be enough to save the land of the free?

Very fast paced with nice twists. I liked the characters, but I think some of them could have shown more depth like Quantum Connection/Warp Speed. I will absolutely pick up Doc Taylor's future novels as he has a wonderful talent for describing future tech that appears just around the corner and is understandable to a lay person.
Great job!

The author's writing style takes some getting used to, but once you do, this is one of the best military sci-fi books out there. A definite recommended read.

Move over Star Trek and thank God, Someone can write Science fiction that
is believable but is willing to blow things up! Thank the stars there is
no Prime Directive in his books and if he puts one in I'll quit reading him. The Disney opener was a good twist but John Ringo used it as well in
one of his books so I think there is some sharing going on but it still made for some good action. From there no let up. Great science brought out
great action. Would love to see a Battle of Midway written into his next
book that would be a great scenario but that is a personal preference. I love the end who would have thought? Read the book, and no other reviewer
should give it away either!
Rated by buyers -
If you are looking for heroes and technology, look no further. Hard-edged combat covering an entire battlefield. Heroic acts of sacrifice abound. Then the last chapter opens and spins everything 90 degrees.
My only concern was a lack of character depth. There was no weakness on the 'good' side - no idiots, no cowards, no craven acts. The Separatists had more range, but even that was a single character acting selfishly.
I will buy everything Doc writes.
