First, great performances from the crew, not the problem here. My problem is, who would want to play this game? I know it sounds pedantic but as a person who loved the first book and liked the second book because of the immersing characters and world that seemed rather inviting, this one killed a lot of that by use of one word- Orbital Mechanics.

Here’s the problem, this game world would not include enough people, regular gamers, because who the hell would want to play a game, as a pilot, and have to learn the ins and outs of orbital mechanics, trig, and advamce calculus? No developer would make a game so complicated.

Why does this matter? It makes the story boring. Where is the adventure? Where’s the interest in the struggle? Sorry all, gotta plot out vectors for a space dog fight.

Sorry, not sure I will continue this book series.
