The title One Dead Marine is deceptive! The book isn't your traditional cut and dry military tale. It is a sci-fi story in which the fantastic and the terrible become the everyday routine of life. There are moments in the book where the author touches on ideas that are bigger and I hope that those ideas will be explored in subsequent books. The preface is elegantly written and it along with the prologue provide the foundation for the story. As I have often been accused (and rightly so) of giving away the plots of movies and books I have tried my best not to do so in this review. I am intrigued by where future books will take the main character, Anthony Moon, and look forward to future installments. The book is 113 pages (not including preface and prologue) and was a quick and easy weekend read.
