- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a great book. Scott did a great job incorporating the fluff from the All Quiet on the Martian Front miniatures game to create a very solid narrative about the opening year of the war. His use of historic figures, who were mentioned in the game's fluff, was very solid and I learned things about some of this figures that I didn't know. I wasn't aware that Leonard Wood had suffered from brain cancer and that he was one of the very first people to receive brain surgery. That was a great little piece of history which Scott did a great job of incorporating into the narrative!
Nicer still was the inclusion of maps in the book. I'm not familiar with this region of the nation, so their inclusion made the book easier to follow. I also appreciated the battle maps which made the deployments of Martian and US forces easy to picture, and perhaps game out using the All Quiet game rules.
So, from at least a historic and gaming standpoint, Scott's novel is a very welcome addition to the military sci fi genre and a great support for the All Quiet on the Martian Front game. I can't wait to see what he will do next!
