He must be doing something right with his writing.

Hmm... Well, I did finish it. But it was, IMO, poor Mil SF. The villains were villainous and obvious. The romance was dull. The introduction of human-level AI went nowhere. The actions taken by the heroes were ludicrous.

Not, I hope, one of his better books.

Next I read some shorts by favourite authors:

The Human Divisions Extras by John Scalzi
OK, but not great, and adds nothing special

Whom The Gods Love by Sarah A. Hoyt
Very good post-trans human story

The Big Ship and The Wise Old Owl by Sarah A. Hoyt
Excellent generation ship story

The Blood Like Wine by Sarah A. Hoyt
OK Vampire story

And now something I bought in a Kobo sale back in May:
Children of the Wolf by Jane Yolen
