Good story. I felt it is a less studious more character driven rehash of Starship Troopers. The fact that more characters had time to converse and banter was a plus. The social convo and military dogma was lessened.
"Takes a young man from the beginning of the Space Academy for the first year or so. Training and testing determines if he can follow through, work hard and mature into someone who has the right mentality for the Solar Patrol. Not as flashy a book as one written today with the same theme but I enjoyed it."
