Valor's Choice

A must read for all Tanya Huff fans. In her usual exceptional style, Tanya Huff takes you into the world of Staff Sargent Torin Kerr and keeps you interested from the first word to the last.

If you're new to Tanya Huff's work, you're in for a treat.

Involving.. yet comical

Note that the only other Tanya Huff book I have read is Scholar of Decay (horrible book) and if I didn't stumble onto this one in a used book store.. I'd of never read it. I'm so glad that I had the chance.

I barely started this book yesterday and finished it today if that says anything. The characters are very involving, the plot is well done and it seemed that I was laughing at every other page despite the serious atmosphere. If I wanted to think back and analyze the book I could prolly find faults. However, based on my pure enjoyment of it, it doesn't deserve that disrespect.

Valor-iffic. A great little "aliens can't fight so they get the barbaric humans to do it" story

A good military sf story. On the edge platoon trapped on backward planet attacked by nearly unarmed natives, who won't stop. 4000 vs. 50. Good alien races, quickly and deeply described. Well done infantry battle, without being bogged down with too intricate detail, good main character. Essentially a further along "aliens can't fight so they get the barbaric humans to do it" story (with addition of a few other fighting races too) but better done than almost any other. Could be a great series, doesn't need a sequel, but there is one.

Different

This book is a little out of my comfort zone. I don't usually read Millitary fiction and I tend to lean toward fantasy over sci-fi. However, I was getting bored with my normal stuff and ventured out a little bit . . . and was rewarded. Valor's Choice is funny and interesting. In fact it is much funnier then I was expecting and much more touching. This is an extremly well written book that I would suggest to all sci-fi and fantasy fans.

In the distant future, humans and several other races have been granted membership in the Confederation--at a price. They must act as soldier/protectors of the far more civilized races who have long since turned away from war....
