Author Rudyard Kipling who wrote the classic children’s novel “The Jungle Book” once quoted man’s timeless relationship with a dog: “When the Man waked up he said, 'What is Wild Dog doing here?' And the Woman said, 'His name is not Wild Dog any more, but the First Friend, because he will be our friend for always and always and always.” Centuries later as mankind evolved, so too did its sacred kinship with “Man’s Best Friend.” Nowhere is that partnership more vital than on the battlefield engaged in a never-ending conflict of good versus evil as Military Working Dog teams serve on the tip-of-the spear outside the wire; keeping America’s servicemen and women safe from enemy insurgents and the most feared weapon of all, the Improvised Explosive Device. Now, investigative reporter Rebecca Frankel delves into the reclusive and often sensationalized world of Military Working Dogs and their devoted handlers. Enter “War Dogs: Tales of Canine Heroism, History and Love,” a veteran columnist covering the exploits of MWDs since 2010, Frankel now takes the reader on a journey inside the realm of Uncle Sam’s Top Dogs. The disorientation in the beginning worked greatly for me. It made me "part of the team". I also liked the hard sf bits in the end. The book proceeds from there through what is discovered, uncovered and....exposed. There is some political pontificating but it comes across as thoughtful musings on the part of the narrator. So I shrugged and enjoyed it when he did a Hari Seldon prequel. I shrugged and tried to pray that a Star Wars novel was not selling out. And then I grew despondent when a novelist of his caliber started writing Halo novels and other for-market stuff. Thrillers? They were okay, but not great. Where's his out-there stuff? So I took a break.

Calm down,” Diveroli said. “Don’t throw around three-letter words like IRS. We can find a settlement.” The description of this book that I read described it as a tale of space marines. That is true, but it is more than that. It really is a heavy dose of science fiction. It is almost a cross between Hebert’s Dune and Weir’s The Martian.

Enter Master Sergeant Michael Venn, a veteran Skyrine (a Marine who is specially trained for off-world combat) who is dropped onto the Red Planet with his band of brothers on a mission to take down as many Antags as possible.

Moreover, for a mil sf novel, this didn't have too much combat. The scene at the very beginning was intense and cool, just like their scrambling to survive the aftermath but that was basically it. I presume one has to see the trilogy as a whole. Don't know. Or maybe the author was trying to make the point that even in the military it's not 100% fire fights 100% of the time.
