I thought this book was poorly put together.  I noticed a trend in the last books that is just overly used in this book where they Skinks are just written as incompetent buffoons.  They seem to do almost nothing correctly and the Marines can do almost nothing wrong.  We don't even see the "incompetent' Marine officer as a character anymore like in the first few books.  Now the Marines (and even Army) can do no wrong and the Skinks are lucky if they don't chop their 'wangs' off walking down a hallway.

That not how to make drama. Their has to be some tension that then enemy is competent enough to win as well.   We have to believe the Skinks are at least competent if winning by the Marines is going to be meaningful.

At this point I don’t really have much desire to read the next book because this one really just seems poorly written.  Sorry one man’s opinion, but I was very disappointed.
