It was a great read, breezed through it in a few days. The only problem I had is that at times he seemed to be advertising for products like Red Bull or Rolling Rock.

Because of historical fiction, Pressfield became one of my favorite authors. I was not sure at first how that would translate into a future setting. I should not have worried. The story is excellent on it's own, but then it weaves in echoes of empires past and lessons not thoroughly learned. This was a one night read for me because I could not put it down. Written in first person, Pressfield has a way of making you the unknown watcher in the room without going overboard. If you like his past works, I highly recommend this one and I wait impatiently for the next.
