On My Way to Paradise by Dave Wolverton: Ultraviolent Military Sci-Fi

The first 90 pages or so are incredible. Like the best military sci-fi I've ever read. Super exciting to read. super engrossing. And then the rest of it just blows.

It's not going to make my top 15 list, but it was time relatively well spent and it's a smart enough book that does things mostly right and it is memorable.
