Marines and Mongols: A Military Science Fiction Thriller (The Marines Saga Book 1)

Cover for Marines and Mongols: A Military Science Fiction Thriller (The Marines Saga Book 1)

Review:

I al­most nev­er write a bad re­view be­cause who am I, right? I am mak­ing an ex­cep­tion for this book.

Prob­a­bly the worst writ­ten book I ev­er read to the end. Or at least the worst edit­ed one.

The whole "p­re­sen­t-­day" plot just ... stop­s.

The fi­nal bat­tle is de­scribed in a com­plete­ly in­co­her­ent way, with Batu Khan both be­ing in a square in­side Poz­nan and in a ridge out­side the city at the same time. In fact the marines start at­tack­ing his po­si­tion in­side the city and then there is a POV change and he is not in the city at al­l. Maybe the au­thor for­got to re­move a chap­ter with a plot he dis­card­ed?

The ma­rine plan­ning ses­sions are hi­lar­i­ous­ly stupid. The card­board char­ac­ters (whose names some­times change for no rea­son) just say the same things over and over while try­ing and fail­ing to sound badass.

If this re­view makes you want to read the book to see if it is re­al­ly that bad, please don't.

An­oth­er re­view­er sug­gest­ed this may be Chat­G­P­T-writ­ten. If that is the case, I hope the "au­thor" starts pay­ing for the pre­mi­um mod­el­s.
