Just couldn't make it through. The only characters who I even cared a little about were the AI's, and they weren't given very much stage time. The plot ought to have been interesting; a conflict between libertarian rebels and the Welfare state, with side trips into assassination politics. But I didn't find any of the elements believable. The assasination involved an unknown adversary subverting Disney and bringing to bear more force than the US Marines could muster. And every time the fighter planes morphed into giant fighting robots, I just lost interest. An endless sucession of essentially interchangeable two dimensional military characters shouting "guns guns guns" killed it for me.
Just not to my taste.
