Description
Second in the Brothers in Arms series from #1 New York Times–bestselling thriller author Peter Telep, writing under the pen name Ben Weaver. A former colonist, Scott St. Andrew escaped his hellish mining home by joining the Guard Corps and entering the most intense training program in the military. When war broke out between the Terran Alliance and the Seventeen worlds, he was forced to choose between the two warring factions—and two codes of honor. Now Guard Corps Captain St. Andrew show more faces his first command—to retake the South Point Academy on the hellish moon Exeter where he trained only a year before. But the alien technology that makes St. Andrew one of the elite is faulty; he will die unless he is reconditioned properly. And only the Wardens—a secret alliance staging a coup d'etat against the Seventeen—have access to the conditioning. In the theatre of war that ensues, Captain St. Andrew faces his most difficult decision—obey the Corps' code of honor and die slowly, or join the Wardens and live? Science Fiction. Thriller. Fiction. show lessTags

The middle book of the triology. I normally read fantasy trilogies and I'm used to that structure. This has less of that, but remains rather predictable in structure.
The army that Scott fights for promotes on incompetence: every time he leads troops something goes wrong (mutiny, massive losses, etc.) and still they promote him. What happened to competence based promotions? He's not the son of a noble or other high status character, so it's not that, and he's not buying a commission either... It's just daft. Even if every mistake is assumed to be malicious acts by others (and his loss in this book is very clearly that), it makes him an unlucky leader.
The series started on a mediocre level and went downhill. The only good thing to say for show more this is, if I'd bought it rather than being given all three, I'd never have bought book 3. show less
