I could not read anymore of this story due to the loss of my suspension of disbelief. The main character's incident at the beginning of the story was completely unbelievable, causing me to totally lose interest.

I have read this book and the two subsequent volumes in this series. They were good military SF that kept my attention and moved right along. I recommend these as well worth the price to anyone who enjoys military SF. Go ahead and at least buy the first one; I bet you'll be back for the other two!

This book takes the liberal agenda to one of its possible conclusions. It also shows what a single well trained leader can possibly accomplish if given help.
Inconsistancy I noted was the weapons and ammunition left in the so called museums and private collections. This could indicate that conformity to societies norm is only surface deep and I think true to life.
I enjoyed this book immensely! I'll be getting the rest of the series in the future.

Wow!
I just finished 'Peace Warrior", By Steven Hawk....
and I am thoroughly pleased!
Such a great book!
I am left with the feeling of "I can't wait for a sequel!"
I do not recall the last time a book has left me feeling that way.
This is my first actual book review ever.
So please bare with me.
I have been putting it off for about a week, Just because I was unsure how to go about this..
But I'll just type.. and hope it's ok.
This is the first work of fiction I have read in quite a few years...
and I think it's safe to say I will be reading more!
Steven Hawk has a true talent for writing!
It is written in a fashion that had me feeling like I was actyually watching it on a movie screen..
Every scene, action, environment.. I could "see" clearly
Peace Warrior is the first work of fiction I have picked up in years, and I am very happy this is the book I decided to read!
I couldn't agree more with Isabela Morales's review!
This is a fantastic book!, and a book that has left me wanting more!
I was almost saddened that I was on the last page, and could read no further into the lives of these amazing characters!
This book is written in such a way, that one can simply visualize all the plots, surroundings, environments, as if they were watching it on a movie screen.
Many books fail to do this,
but Peace Warrior is not one of them.
I can still picture all the scenes in my head, as if I had just watched a film,.... a great film!
I thought many times while reading it..
"Man, this would make an amazing movie!"
Peace Warrior is one of the books that you just want to keep reading until it's to the end..
even if you have other things to do...
You just want to keep reading! lol
You could really tell that the author had some real, actual experiences in some of the things written about in this book.
Such as combat, hand to hand , and other..
You could tell that it was written by someone with actual experience..
rather than by someone with no experience, who is trying to make it still sound good, and real.
Steven Hawk also brings up some really good things to think about in this book..
Some really deep, meaningful thoughts.. in regards to society, peace, love, war....
and I have been pondering these things since I finished the book..
If you read it.. (you should) you'll see what I mean.
I feel I have written too much here..
but also not enough.. in some way..
So I will stop it here, and hope that my *first* book review is sufficient enough to make my feelings about this book known.
Apologies for such a "newbie" review..
But I'll just end with saying that, I love this book!
Truly!
and will read it again!
Many Thanks Steven!
Please keep up the writing!
I look forward to more books from you! :)
You are great, man. :)

I’ll get right to the point: Peace Warrior is a flawlessly-written science fiction adventure with sympathetic characters and a fast-paced plot. Though billed as military science fiction, Peace Warrior cuts across genres and subgenres by incorporating cultural issues of nature and nurture, war and peace. Complex heroes like Grant Justice and complex issues like these hit the page with the force of an alien mothership biting the dust. Any description I write won’t do it justice (get it? get it?); Steven L. Hawk’s novel is something like War of the Worlds meets cryogenics and hippies on steroids. All I can say is that it’s impossible not to get invested in the outcome of the story and the personalities of our protagonists. No way around it–I’m with Team Human.
Reading Time: 6 hours on a flight from Birmingham to Los Angeles plus one lazy weekend. But that’s just me.
Recommendation: SF subgenres like cyberpunk, steampunk, or the mysterious New Weird can sometimes be an acquired taste (not Christmas present material for the lay science fiction reader). Peace Warrior outstrips niche readership for a general audience. Steven L. Hawk absolutely blows away the common stigma that indie authors create lower-quality work.
