I spoke of what I didn't enjoy. I'm interested in what you found cerebral in the lead character. Other than telling us he had a high IQ, there was nothing in the story displaying his intelligence.
Do you find the depiction of women as obligated (and apparently willing) sex partners to any and all of e make soldiers particually intelligent?
I find Honor Harrington to be a much better developed character and it's a young adult series.
