So I wanted something different to read so looking through the Sci-Fi section I ran into this series and this author.  I wanted something similar to Old Mans War with the same witty comments and jokes.  Looking at the reviews for these books people were saying they didn’t like Sci-Fi but really liked these books.   The best part about a Kindle is that you do not pick a book based on its cover, because if that was the case I wouldn’t have chosen these by a long shot.  The basis of the story here is that an alien force is trying to kill all the humans (Macros), while this attack happens the humans are helped out by another alien force to help stop them (Nanos).  After they are able to defeat the Macros the Nanos leaves them to go help the next planet.  Then the Macros come back and the humans make a deal with them that they will become their ground forces since they are obviously better fighters.  Then they go around solar system to  solar system fighting as mercenaries different worlds until they turn on the Macros.

I did like the humor that is throughout the book, but as with most Sci-Fi books you have to read them in order and read them back to back.  The next book starts off like the next chapter so you have to remember everything.  The only problem with this is that you get a little bored with the writing style and the story by the time you hit the end of the third book.  I thought they were entertaining but not the best sci-fi i have ever read and still enjoy the Old Mans war series better.
